Helpers are called within views, not controllers.

Perhaps you can place that function somewhere else?  Like in a model?

Re: calling helper functions from within the controller

Hello Chris,

yes I know. Maybe I need a hint for my problem.

I have written a new Helper. Now I want to set some variables, that
I can use from within the helper (yes I know I could handle this with
parameters), but I am trying to save some parameters, cause the
values are always the same.

Maybe parameters that do not change often can be in a config
file  .. ? Then use Configure::read where ever you are ...
just a hint

Re: calling helper functions from within the controller

2008-07-11 Thread Daniel Hofstetter

Hi Siegfried,

  the subject says it all:
 is it possible to call a helper function from within the controller.
 Of course the helper is
 included in the var $helpers = array('Myhelper');

 class MyController extends AppController {
    function index() {
         $this-Myhelper-function_to_call(); // DOES NOT WORK - is it
 possible in any way ?
    }

 }

Just an idea:

function index() {
$myHelper = new MyHelper();
$myHelper-function_to_call();
$this-set('myHelper', $myHelper);
}
