Question

I would like to create my custom helper class, but I always get ErrorException [ Fatal Error ]: Class 'media' not found when I call print media::alert();.

This is my class:

class media_Core {
    public static function alert() {
        return "adsfasffasdsafd";
    }
}

Directory structure looks like this application/helpers/media.php. I also tried to follow these steps, but still can’t get it to work

Answer 1

As per the Kohana 3.3 conventions the class mappings behave like this:

• media_Core maps to application/classes/media/Core.php
• Helpers_Media maps to application/classes/Helpers/Media.php

The conventions page also describes style guidelines on naming your classes.

If you wish to call media::alert(), your class must be named media and be found in application/classes/media.php.
