# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:51 fenix` so where do i put App::uses? outside the class declarations?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:50 rchavik App::import is for 1.3
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:49 fenix` that didn't work so i 'll try yours
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:49 fenix` rchavik: manual says use this format: App::uses('PaymentProcessor', 'Lib');
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:48 dakota yeah, I'd make a utility class in libs/
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:48 rchavik libs/convert.php -> App::import('Lib', 'convert');
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:48 fenix` basic utility functions, stuff like value conversion.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:47 dakota fenix`: what kind of functions?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:47 rchavik it's the lib dir (inside the app)
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:45 fenix` anyway, im looking for the simplest way to have functions that are accessible to both controllers and views
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:45 fenix` oh. right
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:45 dakota vendor assets == javascript, css, image, etc.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:44 fenix` upport for vendor assets have been removed for 1.3. It is recommended that you take any vendor assets you have and repackage them into plugins. See Plugin assets for more information.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:35 dakota fenix`: who says vendors aren't supported in 2.0?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:33 fenix` with a libs class do i have to extend anything?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:28 fenix` vendors are no longer supported in 2.0.0, does this apply to libs?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:27 rchavik http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/getting-started/cakephp-folder-structure.html?highlight=Lib
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:23 fenix` as in use an include statement or does phpcake have a library system?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:21 rchavik make it a lib
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:20 fenix` so to access one function in both a view and a controller, i have to create it both a helper and appcontroller?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:14 fenix` nvm googled it.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:11 fenix` can you access helper functions from controllers or are they just for views?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 10:02 ujjain How do I get sublinks under my Google results?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:56 jgonca )
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:56 fenix` jgonca: yeah shows up under helpers as a general topic, i figure that was was just about the existing helpers.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:54 jgonca it shows up, but it's not in the first results
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:53 fenix` rchavik: thanks, wierd that didn't show up in a search
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:52 rchavik http://book2.cakephp.org/en/views/helpers.html
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:52 jgonca fenix: but I think they've followed the same idea
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:51 fenix` jgonca: yeah i searched the 2.0 book no luck for creating helpers
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:51 jgonca ~tell fenix` about book2
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:50 jgonca fenix: you'll need to check the 2.0 docs, then
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:50 fenix` jgonca: is that valid for 2.0.0?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:49 fenix` ok thanks.
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:49 fenix` is it just class Xhelper extends AppHelper{ function blah(){} }?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:49 jgonca fenix: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1097/Creating-Helpers
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:47 byqsri hi .. I would use in my application date with repetitions (every monday etc...) ... exists in Cakphp some plugin to do this?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:46 fenix` dakota: whats involved in writing a custom helper?
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:46 dakota rchavik: Well, I suppose a NULL != ''
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:46 rchavik dakota, it seems that it does not like NULLs
# Sep 23rd 2011, 09:46 dakota fenix`: I remember telling you yesterday, controllers are only for 'controlling' the data flow between models and views. If you want a method/function that you want to run in your views, it should go into a helper
