How to use a helper inside template parser? - El Forum - 08-29-2009

Hello everybody!

I had used helpers inside a template parser but they didn't working.

My code:
Code:
{lyrics}
            <tr>
                <td class="title">&lt;?php echo anchor('lyrics/detail/{lyric_id}-'.url_title('{title_latin}','dash',TRUE),'{title}',array('title'=>'<b>{title}</b><br/>'.$this->lang->line('artist').': {artist_name}'))?&gt;</td>
                <td class="artist artistname">&lt;?php echo anchor('artist/detail/{artist_id}-'.url_title('{artist_name_latin}','dash',TRUE),'{artist_name}',array('title'=>$this->lang->line('artist2').': <b>{artist_name}</b>'))?&gt;</td>
                <td class="view">{view}</td>
                <td class="view">&lt;?=anchor('mp3/search/'.url_title('{title_latin}','dash',TRUE),img(array('src'=>'images/listening.png')),array('title'=>$this->lang->line('tip_listening')))?&gt;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="lyric2" colspan=4>&lt;?=word_limiter('{content}',15);?&gt;</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
                <td class="user username" colspan=4><i class="dim">&lt;?=$this->lang->line('userpost')?&gt;:</i> &lt;?=anchor('member/listsongsby/{user_id}-{username}','{username}')?&gt;
                |&nbsp;<i class="dim">&lt;?=$this->lang->line('category')?&gt;: </i>&lt;?=anchor('category/{category_id}-'.url_title('{cat_name_latin}','dash',TRUE),'{cat_name}')?&gt;
                </td>
            </tr>
            {/lyrics}

url_title(), word_limiter() aren't working but no errors...

Can everybody help me? Thanks!

You actually should be able to use helper methods if that helper is loaded for the current object.
Is the URL helper ( for url_title()) and Text helper (for word_limiter()) loaded in your controller or in autoload.php?

Strange.
I've just loaded the Text helper in one of my controllers and then tried to use the word_limiter() method in it's view, and it works.

Your problem is somewhere else.
