    Hello again!

    Is it possible to call another helper from a helper, e.g. url_helper from application_helper?

    Thanks for your help! -jyrki

    You can do this via the $this->_controller reference, but your helper needs to extend AkActionViewHelper

    Here is an example

    class ApplicationHelper extends AkActionViewHelper
{
    function app_link_to($name, $options)
    {
        return $this->_controller->url_helper->link_to($name, $options);
    }
}

    Thanks. I had tried the approach previously but failed. Now it works. Propably I just forgot a letter or so...
