as commented on github im sorry to say i think the script is a bad idea in the long run, but it is a nice move and maybe will make people try it to start with. But as Fabien said somewhere, that some helpers should be filters and some should be tags. Also we need to take into account it should be easy to update later on and for others to add "helpers" so we need to make a decision on what should be filters and what should be tags.
fx. the use_helper function should be a tag (the Extension can pass a twig environment so its possible to add extensions on the fly (in theory)). And the sfTwigPartialView is almost useless in the sense it will only be used by sfAction::getPartial() On Oct 12, 6:50 pm, Kris Wallsmith <kris.wallsm...@symfony- project.com> wrote: > Looks promising.
