But an action helper seems an odd place for it. It seems to me an action helper is most useful for functionality that can be be called on demand from within an action itself. The kind of action-independent content we are discussing here strikes me as better suited to a view helper, kind of in-keeping with the "controllers are not the data police" philosophy.

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.

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);" I was wondering about if the bootstrap section needed to change?
