I managed to include the TextHelper in the controller, but I don't
understand where to actually use the excerpt function. I'm new to
CakePHP.
My controller:
var $helpers = array('Html','Javascript', 'Ajax', 'RfRating', 'Text');
My view:
echo("<p>" . truncate($thisstory['Story']['plot']) . "</p>");
But that doesn't seem to work:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function truncate() in /Applications/
MAMP/htdocs/metatube/app/views/stories/index.thtml on line 7
