    <p>I am trying to simply use a custom view helper that is located in <code>/library/my/view/helpers/friends.php</code></p> <p>I have this in the <code>application.ini</code>: </p> <p><code>resources.view.helperPath.My_View_Helper = "/my/view/helpers"</code></p> <p>This is the helper class:</p> <pre><code>class My_View_Helper_Friends extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public function friends() { $str = "hello world"; return $str; } } </code></pre> <p>This is in the view file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;friends(); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I get an error on this line saying it can't find the plugin in a path that it is already in.</p> <p>The error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Plugin by name 'Friends' was not found in the registry; used paths: My_View_Helper_: /My/View/Helpers/ Zend_View_Helper_: Zend/View/Helper/;C:/http/xampplite/htdocs/zf-tutorial/application/views\helpers/</p> </blockquote> <p>Looks like its using the right path and the file is there. I don't understand why it can't find it?</p>

    1. COI've always had to use `$this->helper()` to make it work. Also my view helpers are all `Zend_View_Helper_MyHelper` (maybe try a rename) although I don't put them in the library, I keep them in `/views/helpers` to keep things simple. You didn't mention if you added the `autoloaderNamespaces[] = MY_` to your application.ini. Not sure if that would be a factor or not.

    2. CO@RockyFord It may be that you always have to use `$this->helper()` because you are naming your classes `Zend_View_Helper_XXX` (if I read that correctly). Only classes officially belonging to ZF should be prefixed with `Zend_` or `ZendX_` (See [ZF Naming Conventions](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/coding-standard.naming-conventions.html)). It might have to do with the autoloader looking in the Zend directories for your helper classes.

    3. CO@drew010 I should said `$this->MyHelper()` prefixing with `Zend_View_Helper_XXX` is the default. So I don't have to register a new helper path. They are stored in any of my `/views/helpers` directories. Someday I'll put them all in one place, when I cleanup the application. Also the question has been cleaned up since I posted, so my post makes less sense :)

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.
