You can set the prefix to whatever you like when you set up the helper path for your own helpers: <pre class="phpcode"><span style="color: #0000BB"> <br />$view</span><span style="color: #007700">-></span><span style="color: #0000BB">setHelperPath</span><span style="color: #007700">(</span><span style="color: #DD0000">'/path/to/more/helpers'</span><span style="color: #007700">, </span><span style="color: #DD0000">'My_View_Helper'</span><span style="color: #007700">); <br /></span> </span></code></pre> Regards, Rob...

$view->setHelperPath('/path/to/more/helpers', 'My_View_Helper');

Moreover if you want use this convention let's create a base class Zend_View_Helper_BaseHelper which includes setView($view) and everyone else will inherit from that class. Hope it is not too late, Thank you for your time, Roy Hi Rob,
