Helpers
Introduction
Helpers are similar to plugins in so far as they are separate pieces of code which extend Wolf CMS's functionality. However, helpers are never loaded in unless specifically called by an outside piece of code.
They are found in the <root>/wolf/helpers/ directory.

Using Helpers
To call a single helper, use: <?php use_helper('Pagination'); ?>
You can call more than one helper at a time by listing them as parameters:
<?php use_helper('Email', 'Pagination', 'Zip'); ?>
The functionality provided by the helper will only be available on the page(s) where it is specifically called by this code.
