ZF2 Share partial view (menu) betwen controllers of same module -

in zf2 have module more controllers, shares let menu (for navigating betwen controllers). share menu between controllers have put in every controller view:

<div class="span2"> <?php echo $this->partial('leftmenu'); ?> </div>  <div class="span10"> controller view </div> 

so repeating <?php echo $this->partial('leftmenu'); ?> code everywhere. there way doing once , make appear in views of controllers?

one way wold inject viewmodel layout , have rendered in there.

module.php

/**  * on bootstrap event  *   * @param \zend\mvc\mvcevent $e  */ public function onbootstrap(mvcevent $e) {     // ..       $viewmodel = $e->getviewmodel();     $menu = new viewmodel();     $menu ->settemplate('module/menu/something');     $viewmodel->addchild($menu, 'menu'); } 

you need render menu inside layout then..

layout.phtml

<?php if(isset($menu)) echo $menu ?> 

you can alternatively attach onto different events if want different effects, such injecting module if you're in module, or controller extends abstract controller:

// bootstrap ///  $e->getapplication()->geteventmanager()->getsharedmanager()         ->attach('zend\mvc\controller\abstractactioncontroller', 'dispatch', function($e) {     $controller = $e->gettarget();     $controllerclass = get_class($controller);     $modulenamespace = substr($controllerclass, 0, strpos($controllerclass, '\\'));      // logic decide want      $viewmodel = $e->getviewmodel();     $menu = new viewmodel();     $menu ->settemplate('module/menu/something');     $viewmodel->addchild($menu, 'menu'); }, 100);
