Question

e.g. (file = views/elements/photos/tag.ctp)

In this element I have to show a description about that photo.
I want to truncate the description text, so i’m using the Truncate
function of the Text Core Helper but this throws the following
exception

echo $this->Text->truncate($photo['Photo']['description'], 30,array(  'ending' => '...', 'exact' => false,'html' => true ));

Fatal error: Call to a member function truncate() on a non-object i

Answer 1

Next time, please post the full error message.

It looks like you didn’t include the helper within the Controller you are using here.

Make sure, you have the following within your controller:

var $helpers = array('Text');
