Re: View Partial from another action

Unfortunately the wiki is down right now, but when it's back up check
out the Zend_View Enhanced proposal. It provides built in support for
partials, and you can call them simply with
$this->partial('controller/action');. There is a sample implementation
with the proposal, which I've been using for a while now with no
problems. In the meantime do a search on the mailing list for partials,
this has come up a number of times and there are a few solutions
floating about. The Http_Client method is completely unnecessary, and
yes, I would imagine there would be a major impact on performance
(though that is just my assumption).
