# Sep 13th 2009, 19:12 TehTreag unclezoot: Here is an example helper - http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/using-tinymce-with-cakephp#comment-2689, that uses the view as jperras suggests.
# Sep 13th 2009, 19:01 savant well i got it working and you didn't. must be magic :)
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:54 unclezoot lies
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:53 savant i did it with magic and zest
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:53 unclezoot im trying to do it within a layout
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:53 jperras but not from an element
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:53 jperras you can do it from a view
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:53 unclezoot just wondering how savant was able to load his plugin.helper in a layout
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:52 unclezoot i see
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:52 jperras but that kind of thing should be encapsulated into a helper.
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:52 jperras you could get around it by obtaining the view object in the registry and adding your script to it using the relevant method
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:51 unclezoot but loading in the head would be classier :)
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:51 unclezoot ive literally just got around it by loading my js and css in my body, i.e. building a string and outputting it
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:51 unclezoot thx jperras, ill have a read
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:50 jperras unclezoot: http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:49 jperras so you can't insert data into the layout from an element.
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:49 jperras unclezoot: the layout is rendered before the element's content is parsed
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:35 unclezoot i mean you can pass parameters into both
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:34 unclezoot is an element preferable over a helper for this sort of thing? a snazzy js nav which relies on loading some js + css?
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:33 unclezoot nope, that didnt fix it
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:31 unclezoot i am using the penultimate version of cake for 1.2, ill upgrade
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 unclezoot ACTION pulls his hair out
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 savant yes i have
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 unclezoot have you tried loading those helpers in a layout though? that seems to be the crucial thing
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 savant yes
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:29 unclezoot ok then, have you got any plugins in your git repo that load js in a helper which i can use for reference?
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:27 savant si senor
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:27 unclezoot in a plugin? with the same syntax i used?
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 savant no you are able to. I've done it before and keep doing it
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 unclezoot well if you can, it's more than a one-liner
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:26 unclezoot maybe you just cant use your own helpers in a layout if they need to load js + css
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 unclezoot dont see how, im following the manual
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 savant then i guess you broke something somehow
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:25 unclezoot no change
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 savant well try the "long tag" anyways
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 savant wait it is
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:24 savant <? isn't a shorttag
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 unclezoot because i like short tags, personal preference
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 savant line 36 and 37
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 savant why don't you do <?php in the layout?
# Sep 13th 2009, 18:23 unclezoot that's where it all goes tits up for me
