That helps. I believe you are moving past a simple user defined function.
See, helpers don't really (at the present time) share much of a context, because the helpers (UDFs) are ripped out of their original contexts and shoved in a helpers.cfc which is passed around to the controllers and the views. So, if it were me, I'd probably build a CFC that handled this need, because I'd want to configure that through ColdSpring as well.
