Question

I am in the process of writing a custom component along with some custom modules in Joomla 1.7 and I am having trouble figuring out how I can use function within my component inside my custom modules. I don’t want to duplicate these functions because there’s a very good chance of those getting out of sync when changes are made.

Can I just include a file to get access to those functions?

Thanks!

Shure. You can always do stuff like this inside modules:

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_mycompo'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'helper.php');

and then

$settings = & MyHelper::myHelperFunction();
