After developing a new module connected to another database, I attempted to call the helper class from a different module template file named "description.pthml". The code I used is as follows:
$_helper = $this->helper('ForumProdPosts/output');
Unfortunately, I encountered an error stating "Fatal error: Class 'Mage_ForumProdPosts_Helper_Output' not found in /home/black/public_html/app/Mage.php on line 546". The helper class can be found in local/MyWebsite/ForumProdPosts/Helper/Output.php with the following code:
class MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts_Helper_Output extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
/**
* Constructor
*/
public function __construct()
{
Mage::dispatchEvent('forumprodposts_helper_output_construct', array('helper'=>$this));
}
public function getForumPosts(){
echo "I m here";
exit;
}
}
Moreover, the config.xml of my module includes:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts>
<version>0.1.0</version>
</MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts>
</modules>
(Additional configuration details omitted)
</config>
It seems like Magento is not recognizing my module. Additionally, my module does not show up in the configuration/advanced section of the admin panel. I have already tried reindexing and clearing the cache, and ensured that MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts.xml in etc/modules contains the correct code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</MyWebsite_ForumProdPosts>
</modules>
</config>
