Hi there everyone, I would like to know if it's possible to instantiate a helper in a controller with configuration options (like one can with components, or with model behaviors).
What I'd like to do is pre-set certain options for the Form helper (div => false) for example, instead of having to do it each and every time I add a form field in the view. I've done a bit of a search in the Book, and also on the web, but I've not found anything that lead me to an answer. What I thought, as an alternative, is to write a wrapper helper class (e.g. MyForm) that uses the Form helper with wrapper functions around each of the Form helper's functions; this approach should work but it seems like a long way around solving the problem. I'd like to avoid this if possible. I am in the process of refactoring a site I did about 2 years ago in Cake 1.1; I've upgraded to 1.2.7 and plan to upgrade even further to 1.3.2 before deploying the updated version of the site. I'm also using this as an exercise in improving my own Cake skills, trying to keep the code as "cake-like" as possible. Any pointers in this regard would be much appreciated.
