mvcViewHelperFactory
mvcViewHelperFactory handles requests for view helpers, locates and loads the helper objects and general provides house keeping for the instantiated objects.
Methods
public __construct()
Creates a new helper factory
public reset()
Resets the object
public getHelper($inHelper, [$inHelperPrefix = 'mvcViewHelper'])
Returns the requested helper instance, creating one if it does not already exist
$inHelper should be the name of the helper, either the template function call or the classname. If the template function is given, it will be converted to mvcViewHelper[A-Z]... and a file will be located for the function name with .class.php appended. Only the mvcViewHelperFactory::$_HelperPaths will be searched.
When naming your view helper, be sure to follow the convention, otherwise it may not be loaded.
public getHelperClassStub($inHelperClass, [$inHelperPrefix = 'mvcViewHelper'])
Returns the trailing stub of the class from the helper
public addHelperPath($inPath)
Adds a search path for the helpers, paths are searched in the order they are added
public getHelperPath($inHelperClass, [$inHelperPrefix = 'mvcViewHelper'])

public removeHelperPath($inPath)

public addMapping($inHelperClass, $inPath)
