and you would use a different method to do that |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:41 |
ricksaccous |
but yes, it's probably better to add them in the AppView class |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:41 |
ricksaccous |
you can add helpers that way |

TBH, I *always* try. But I learned PHP years ago, and cake before it implemented namespace stuff, and I often find that I don't quite understand the API. |

That’s not where you add helpers. |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:41 |
ricksaccous |
lol |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:41 |
ricksaccous |
he's using viewBuilder in controller |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:40 |
neon1024 |
So the method does exist. Which means you must have a typo I’d imagine |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:40 |
ricksaccous |
in your case setHelpers is more appropriate |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:40 |
ricksaccous |
learn to use that more often and you'll have less questions in general |

AppView::loadHelper has been in for 4 years |

```$this->viewBuilder()->getHelpers(['Thumber.Thumb']);``` seems to have pleased cake |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:39 |
ricksaccous |
actually it's best to check the API |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
this.impetus |
yeah, haha. thanks. don't be surprised if I come back |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
this.impetus |
anyway, I should at least try to solve this myself |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
ricksaccous |
you can go through the docs to figure it out |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
ricksaccous |
then figure out what the better method to use is |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
this.impetus |
but I keep getting errors stating that `loadHelper` isn't a method |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:38 |
ricksaccous |
hehe |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:37 |
this.impetus |
oh? As in now that we know it's there and installed, use the current cake API to actually load it? yeah `->helpers` is deprecated |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:37 |
ricksaccous |
is helpers deprecated? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:37 |
this.impetus |
nah I can prolly google that |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:37 |
ricksaccous |
don't use the deprecated method would be my advice |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:37 |
this.impetus |
And this works. Final question—how do I suppress the deprecation errors? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
this.impetus |
Ahhhhh |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
the second part is the actual name of the helper |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
the first part of the string is the plugin namespace |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
Thumber.Thumb |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
it would be |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
so |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
I don't think you include the Helper part |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |
ricksaccous |
hehehehe |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:36 |

Thumb.Helper or something? |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:35 |
ricksaccous |
this is a common theme throughout CakePHP |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:35 |
ricksaccous |
when you load a helper from a plugin |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:35 |
ricksaccous |
you need to prefix the plugin name |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:35 |
this.impetus |
Or rather "Missing Helper" exception thrown |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:35 |
this.impetus |
Hunh. Deprecation errors notwithstanding, that line with any of "Thumb", "Thumber", "ThumbHelper", "ThumberHelper" all say the helper is not found. |
| # |
Apr 18th 2019, 14:33 |

$this->viewBuilder()->helpers(['MyHelper']); |
