There are two possibilities:
1) Either you declared your helper in the config.xml
and you did not create it in the module NameSpace/NameModule/Helper/Data.php
2) Either you created it in the module but not in the config.xml
or you did it wrong.
Solution:
You should have this in your config.xml
:
<global>
...
<helpers>
<parcelamento>
<class>Namespace_Parcelamento_Helper</class>
</parcelamento>
</helpers>
...
</global>
You should also have this in :Namespace/Parcelamento/Helper/Data.php
<?php
class Namespace_Parcelamento_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}
Now you can call your helper like this:
<?php Mage::helper('parcelamento')?>
