The "outer" template is called site.tpl.php which has: <pre class="phpcode"> <br /><span style="color: #0000BB"><?php </span><span style="color: #007700">echo </span><span style="color: #0000BB">$this</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">actionOutput </span><span style="color: #007700">;</span><span style="color: #0000BB">?> <br /></span> </span></code></pre> within it. Mainly to allow separation of concerns. Not sure that it's really necessary though... Hi Geoffrey,

Exactly. right. $this->_siteView is used for the "outer" html template and $this->_view is used for the action template.

The "outer" template is called site.tpl.php which has:

<?php echo $this->actionOutput ;?>

within it.

Mainly to allow separation of concerns. Not sure that it's really necessary though…

That said, there's one thing I do not understand: why do you have two different instances of Zend_View ? :| After re-re-re-reading your code, it seems like _view renders only the action part, which is echoed somewhere in the siteTemplate rendered by _siteView, like in: Your site name actionOutput; ?> Thus, siteView, would be some kind of wrapper to add headers and footers.

Did I understand well ?

I would probably create a view helper to display the login box. Regards, Rob... The processing of the login only needs to be in one module/action.
