Answer 1

in your Bootstrap, add this method :

protected function _initView()
{
        $view = $this->bootstrap('layout')->getResource('layout')->getView();
        $view->addHelperPath('Your/Custom/Path/', 'Your_Custom_Path');

        $viewRenderer = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
        $viewRenderer->setView($view);

        Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
}

Answer 2

You can add this addHelperPath call in bootstrap, like me
