passing arguments to zend partial and zend partialLoop

I'll try to describe this as best as possible, i haven't encountered this problem before but maybe i'm doing something wrong.

In my controller: i have:

public function indexAction() {
       $this->view->projects = $this->projects->getProjects();
 开发者_如何学C   }

In the view file corresponding to this controller i have:

<?php echo $this->partial('partials/sidebar/_home.phtml', array($this->projects)); ?>

My _home.phtml contains the current code:

<div class="sidebar-content">
    <p class="sidebar-title">Projects Portfolio</p>
    <div id='coin-slider' style="margin:0 auto;">
        <?php echo $this->partialLoop('partials/sidebar/_projects-slideshow.phtml', $this->projects);?>
    </div>
</div>

And my _projects-slideshow.phtml has this code:

<a href="<?php echo $this->baseUrl($this->pimage); ?>">
    <img src="<?php echo $this->baseUrl($this->pimage); ?>" alt="1" />
    <span>
        <?php echo $this->pname . ' by ' . $this->group . '. Client: ' . $this->client; ?>
    </span>
</a>

The problem is that the variable is not passed to _home.phtml. I tried a Zend_Debug::dump($this->projects) and the result was NULL. I tried a Zend_Debug::dump($this) and I found the projects array. What am I doing wrong? The variable is not being passed, or maybe it is, to _home.phtml, not to mention that _projects-slideshow.phtml has no idea what $this->projects is.

If $this->projects in your _home.phtml is empty I think you should change

in index.phtml

<?php echo $this->partial('partials/sidebar/_home.phtml', array($this->projects)); ?>

into

<?php echo $this->partial('partials/sidebar/_home.phtml', array('projects' => $this->projects)); ?>

Here how it should has been:

  $variables = array (
  'records' => $result
  );

  $this->view->partial ("nodes/relations.php", $variables);

The variables in the array are named. What exactly is in your $this->projects->getProjects() ?
