The extensions reference doesn’t mention adding new helper methods.
I noticed that I can simply define a function in my index.php
file of the plugin:
function test () {
echo 'testing';
}
…and I can use that function in my template:
<?= test() ?>
This works, but is it reliable? Is that an OK way to define a helper? It pollutes the global namespace, but with helpers - I think that’s kind of the point?
