    HI,

    I want to talk about calling classes in template.

    I would like to call: Ak::t('this is a label')

    from the template. From looking around just now, I can see that AkPhpCodeSanatizer (which uses /vendor/PHPCodeAnalyzer/PHPCodeAnalyzer.php) prevents any classes being used statically.

    Would it be sensible to allow some classes to be called statically? For example: - label helpers - html helpers ??

    I see that these could do into $.._helper, but I would like to be able to copy and paste from any file more easily. Also, label helpers should work the same across the system.

    What do you think?

    Create at your current controller/action an instance of your helper or model

    require_once(path to your helper);
$this->html_helper =& new HtmlHelper();

    and will be available into yor view

    $html_helper->yourMethod();

    there is no need for changes.

    Hi Dan, Just read your article on LF. Thank you very much for digging into Akelos before the screencast and the new site was up and running.

    For security reasons Akelos does not allow running static methods in the views by default, some work can be done around lib/AkActionView/AkPhpCodeSanitizer.php (130, 132) to modify the default behavior using a configuration constant.

    You can also have a look to the new way to call helpers from within sintags which might shorten helper calls.

    As salavert suggests you can also instantiate helpers from your controller and there is a simple mode to get this automatically for you by telling Akelos wich app/helpers to load using the "var $app_helpers"

    If all you needed was to call Ak::t('this is a label') you have these five ways of doing it so:

    _{this is a label}
<%= _('this is a label') %>
<%= translate 'this is a label' %>
<?= $text_helper->t('this is a label') ?>
<?= translate('this is a label') ?>

    Thanks - I will stick to the rules and use a proper helper!

    Cheers, dan
