Re: Custom Helper not loaded

Where you're going wrong: Helpers are related to and accessed from
within the View, not the Controller like you're trying to do.
http://book.cakephp.org/view/98/Helpers

In /app/views/about/index.ctp replace
<?php echo $text; ?>
with
<?php echo $content->get('about_team'); ?>
and you can get rid of the contents of your AboutController::index()
function.

Perhaps the functionality you're after is more suited to a Component?
