Hi all,

Some core helpers are not available within an element.
e.g. (file = 'views/elements/event/event_teaser.ctp')

In this element I have some HTML to show a teaser about an event.
I want to truncate the content text, so i'm using the Truncate
function of the Text Core Helper => this throws the following
exception

My code:
<div class="entry">
                <?php echo $this->Text->truncate($theEvent['Event']['content'], 
150,
array(
                                                                                
                                                                                
'ending' => '...',
                                                                                
                                                                                
'exact' => false,
                                                                                
                                                                                
'html' => true
                                                                                
                                                                                
));
                ?>
</div>

The error:
Notice (8): Undefined property: View::$Text [APP/views/elements/event/
event_teaser.ctp, line 6]
Fatal error: Call to a member function truncate() on a non-object in /
Applications/MAMP/htdocs/flanders_events/website/app/views/elements/
event/event_teaser.ctp on line 6

I'm having the same troubles when i use the Time core helper.
But the strange thing is, i can use the Html helper without a problem

Is there something I'm forgetting?
