I want to use the distance_of_time_in_words
function from DateHelper
into another Helper.
How to use symfony DateHelper
into my custom Helper?
Any hint is very much appreciated.
I think I found the solution.
Added following line before calling distance_of_time_in_words() function in my helper.
sfProjectConfiguration::getActive()->loadHelpers(array('Date'));
That is what I needed, Thanks.
I think the best way, is to define your helper globally, in your apps/frontend/config/settings.yml
:
all:
.settings:
standard_helpers: [Partial, Cache, I18N, Date]
This way, all the helpers from standard_helpers
will always be loaded and available in your view.
Ps: be careful to not override your own standard_helpers
but just add Date
to the end.
