Thanks for the informative post! I was stuck for hours trying to get this working. Now I have a custom context switcher that gets auto-run from an action helper. This makes for a very clean solution.

Rob's idea helped me get this to work in 1.8+

Well, it needs to go somewhere in your bootstrapping process, so creating an __initActionHelpers() isn't a bad idea.

I was wondering about if the bootstrap section needed to change? Does that just go into Bootstrap.php?
" // Action Helpers
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPath(
APPLICATION_PATH .'/controllers/helpers');

$hooks = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('Quote');
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($hooks);"

Joe,

It shouldn't need any changes except to double check that the method signatures haven't changed.

Hi Rob,

So how would this code need to be modified to work in ZF 1.8+ ?

hi, it's eddie again.
I just downloaded the updated ZF_Action_Helper_example.zip, but the "getStaticHelper('Hooks')" still in the bootstrap.php :)
