Question

Hi I have a helper method, which returns a string, where i need to use this on every view.
I am trying to add this method to the ApplicationHelper

my ApplicationController looks like this

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  helper :application
end

my ApplicationHelper looks like this

module ApplicationHelper
  def ThemeDir
    "http://mysite.com/something/something"
  end
end

when i try to use this method in the view as

<%= ThemeDir %> 

it gives me the following error.

uninitialized constant ActionView::CompiledTemplates::ThemeDir

can someone help me with this please.

Answer 1

In Rails ‘ThemeDir’ treating it as constant .

Make the method name like ‘theme_dir’, and try that .
