Is it possible in ZendFramework to set custom template when I call some action ? For example I call /category/show/id/123 and View is rendering /category/show.html file.

I want to be able to render anonther template - /category/showOther.html.

What should I do ?

Sure. In your ControllerAction do this:

$this->_helper->viewRenderer('showOther');
