Hi everybody!
This time I'm asking about application helper. Is there such a helper in Akelos? How to use it?
Thanks for your help and time =)

There is no such helper in the Akelos PHP Framework, there are two types of helpers, view helpers located at framework/lib/AkActionView/helpers and custom helpers mixed into the views based on the controller name.
There is a way to add a custom helper to your app, this helpers should be located in the app/helpers directory, by example If you create a helper called layout_helper.php and you wish that your app include this helper this is the way to do it
class ApplicationController extends AkActionController
{
var $app_helpers = 'layout';
}
Thank you, salavert! You've saved my day again :D

Another related question. How to add more app_helpers in another controller?
-jyrki
If you want to load layout_helper and my_cool_functionality_helper you just need to tell akelos
class ApplicationController extends AkActionController
{
var $app_helpers = 'layout, my_cool_functionality';
}
cool eh!!
Thank you again, salavert! And sorry for my newbie-ish questions..
Is there any way to extend the variable app_heplers in another controller than ApplicationController? Like
class QuestbookController extends AkActionController
{
var $app_helpers = /*app_helpers from application_controller + app_helpers from this controller*/
}

Not using an Akelos way "yet", but some old school PHP could help by doing this in your application_controller.php:
define('MY_APP_HELPERS', 'layout');
And then just concatenate them like:
class QuestbookController extends AkActionController
{
var $app_helpers = MY_APP_HELPERS.', my_cool_functionality';
}
Not perfect, but if you find a bright way to integrate this into the Akelos core, it would be nice to submit a patch so we can improve it.
In case you wanna know, the file where this takes place is located at lib/AkActionController.php
Another workaround:
class QuestbookController extends AkActionController
{
function __construct()
{
$app_helpers = $this->app_helpers.', captcha';
}
}
I think this is a bit better than defining the MY_APP_HELPERS constant...
