Hi guys I suppose this is my first ever post on any CakePHP related forum/group so get the unicorns and badger porn out. I've been actively using CakePHP since 1.1 and have generally beaten and thrashed the framework into doing what I liked until progressively it has become the shiny framework of today.
As I've refactored and refactored over and over, Cake has finally beaten and thrashed me into better use of Behavior, Component and Helper; I use those three so much now to keep my code tidy and help make testing manageable. These days, I find that there are times I want to name a helper to match the model when working in views. I feel that models named Invoice suit an Invoice helper more than concocting weakly linked names; yet, in the past I've often mashed up the oddest of names so that I can avoid variable collisions. I, personally, find this method much more MVC (I've seen this in my occasional expeditions into RoR). * * *TLDR;* * * Since 1.3, have you begun refactoring to take advantage of $this->Helper or have you continued to make use of $helper and used creative naming to get around things? *I guess I'm just trying to gauge whether or not I'm personally taking the right path with $this->Helper over $helper* -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
