$ git clone git@github.com:JelmerD/TableHelper.git
Once the plugin is in place, load it in your app/Config/bootstrap.php by adding this line:
CakePlugin::load('TableHelper');Now to use the Helper, simply load it in your Controller:
public $helpers = array('TableHelper.Table');Input
echo $this->Table->create();
echo $this->Table->row(array('Clint', 'Eastwood'));
echo $this->Table->end();Output
<table class="table">
