title: Social Engine access to view methods
body: <p>I'm coding my API in SocialEngine and i got some problems when I try to call view method that i used to call within a controller, i.e.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>$this->view->htmlLink() </li>
  <li>$this->view->baseUrl()</li>
  <li>$this->view->translate()</li>
  <li>etc.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>i found in factory scripts that i can call translate() method from an Api accessing Zend framework, Zend_Registry::get('Zend_Translate')->_(), but I guess this may be not the best way (and i didn't find nothing about other methods…)</p>
  
  <p>so, how can I access this methods from my module's API, so that they get through my controller when i call Engine_Api::_()->getApi()->myMethod()?</p>
  
  <p>ty!</p>
