Zend2 reuse same view file with pictures - php

Question

I have a controller with two actions what uses the exact same view file (the index.phtml)
If the URL says for example : localhost/public/map
Then the URL for the image file is localhost/public/style/img.jpg
But if I use a different action in the same controller then the URL will change to localhost/public/map/style/img.jpg what doesn't exist.
Also if I am not using the same template so I have a separate one for choose action, it is doing the exact same thing so it will have the extra "map" word in the URL.
Any idea how could I get this solved?
Example code:
Controller
public function indexAction(){
$view = new ViewModel();
return $view;
public function chooseAction(){
$view = new ViewModel();
$view->setTemplate("map/index"); //will not work with just "index"
return $view;
}
index.phtml
<?php
// module/Map/view/index.phtml:
$title = 'Map';
$this->headTitle($title);
?>
<img src="style/img.jpg"/>

Answer 1

You can simply point to the absolute path of the image:
<?php
// module/Map/view/index.phtml:
$title = 'Map';
$this->headTitle($title);
?>
<img src="/public/style/img.jpg"/>
If you want the template to be named index instead of map/index you have to change the template name in your template_map in the module.config.php file in the config folder:
Now probably it looks probably like this:
'view_manager' => array(
//...other things
'template_map' => array(
'map/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout/index.phtml',
//...more view templates
)
)
Simply change to 'map/index' to 'index'. Then you can do:
$view->setTemplate("index");
Update:
From your comment I understand that part of the problem is that you don't want to hardcode your folder names. In that case you can always use the php __NAMESPACE__ constant. This might solve your issue regarding hardcoding paths inside your modules.
If you would later put your site in a folder and you configure everything correctly then using an absolute path to your images should not be a problem.
