Use default module's action helpers in another module with Zend Framework

Question

I think I've tried everything I've found to solve this, including all the answers here on SO.

In my project there is an admin module, and then there's the default module. Now I want the admin module to use the default module's helpers. Preferably only if there isn't an admin module helper with the same name. Is this possible?

The error message I get is:

Message: Plugin by name 'HeadBase' was not found in the registry; used paths: Admin_View_Helper_: /application/modules/admin/views\helpers/ Zend_View_Helper_: Zend/View/Helper/

I use ZF 1.11

Found a solution. In the Bootstrap, add an init for helpers, like this:

protected function _initHelpers()
{
    $this->bootstrap('view');
    $view = $this->getResource('view');
    $view->addHelperPath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/views/helpers/', 'Zend_View_Helper');
}

This adds the helper path APPLICATION_PATH . '/views/helpers/' for helpers whose class is prefixed with Zend_View_Helper.
