Hi Fabian, I see the problem, that symfony does not show the developer the "right way". When symfony defines all helpers as static methods, then e.g. all peer classes of the model would be included in this "definition" and that would break among other things the MVC pattern.
I do not like the idea of "go on and use everything you want in your templates and good luck with finding the right way". symfony should show the developers a straight forward way, which stuff they should use in the templates, like "you only should load helpers with the $sf_helper class, you could also use other classes (like the peer classes) but then its your fault" This assignment would be analog to the big discussion of securing symfony applications (how to protect *_dev.php front controllers on prod environments), which was discussed here a few weeks ago. - Frank Am 06.07.2008 um 18:35 schrieb Fabian Lange: > > Hi Frank, > well my post implicitly restated the idea to make the symfony > helpers static > methods in the classes.
