All of these are configurable.

• To modify where the ViewRenderer looks for view scripts, configure it; try adding the following to a resource initializer in your bootstrap:

$vr = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('ViewRenderer');
$vr->setViewBasePathSpec(':moduleDir/view');

• Provide an alternate resource autoloader to your module bootstraps; this can be done to remove pluralizations, add extra mappings, and more. As an example, the following defines a new resource autoloader, a base bootstrap class that uses that resource autoloader, and a bootstrap:

My_Resource_Autoloader extends Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
{
    public function initDefaultResourceTypes()
    {
        $this->addResourceType('viewhelper', 'View_Helper', 'view/helper');
        // etc.
}

My_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Module_Bootstrap
{
    public function getResourceAutoloader()
    {
        if ((null === $this->_resourceLoader)
            && (false !== ($namespace = $this->getAppNamespace()))
        ) {
            $r    = new ReflectionClass($this);
            $path = $r->getFileName();
            $this->setResourceLoader(new My_Resource_Autoloader(array(
                'namespace' => $namespace,
                'basePath'  => dirname($path),
            )));
        }
        return $this->_resourceLoader;
    }
}

Somemodule_Bootstrap extends My_Bootstrap
{
}

Basically, the paths are not hardcoded, and can be configured whenever and however you want; you just need to know where and when to configure them.

Matthew - Very sorry, I had done a grep on the source and had seen 'views' in quotations - I made a risky assumption that this meant it was not configurable or changed later if configured differently.

Thank you for showing me how this is possible - again I apologize.

No worries -- just wanted to point out where and how to configure. :)
