Body
<p>In this case, I usually go with a <a href="http://devzone.zend.com/1224/front-controller-plugins-in-zend-framework/" rel="nofollow">front controller plugin</a> with a <code>dispatchLoopShutdown()</code> hook that performs the required data access and adds the data to the view/layout. The layout script then renders that data.</p> <p>More details available on request.</p> <p><strong>[UPDATE]</strong></p> <p>Suppose you wanted to display inside your layout the last X news items from your db (or web service or an RSS feed), <em>independent of which controller was requested</em>.</p> <p>Your front-controller plugin could look something like this in <code>application/plugins/SidebarNews.php</code>:</p> <pre><code>class My_Plugin_SidebarNews { public function dispatchLoopShutdown() { $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $view = $front->getParam('bootstrap')->getResource('view'); $view->sidebarNews = $this->getNewsItems(); } protected function getNewsItems() { // Access your datasource (db, web service, RSS feed, etc) // and return an iterable collection of news items } } </code></pre> <p>Make sure you register your plugin with the front controller, typically in <code>application/configs/application.ini</code>:</p> <pre><code>resource.frontController.plugins.sidebarNews = "My_Plugin_SidebarNews" </code></pre> <p>Then in your layout, just render as usual, perhaps in <code>application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml</code>:</p> <pre><code><?php if (isset($this->sidebarNews) && is_array($this->sidebarNews) && count($this->sidebarNews) > 0): ?> <div id="sidebarNews"> <?php foreach ($this->sidebarNews as $newsItem): ?> <div class="sidebarNewsItem"> <h3><?= $this->escape($newsItem['headline']) ?></h3> <p><?= $this->escape($newsItem['blurb']) ?></p> </div> <?php endforeach; ?> </div> <?php endif; ?> </code></pre> <p>See what I mean?</p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
