Question

i am using refinery cms at the moment. I created an engine and with it some helpers in app/helpers/admin/.
now i would like to use those helpers in my frontend view (ie. app/views/myapp/index) as well. but i can not…undefined methode error.
what do i have to do short of copying the whole thing to app/helpers/?
the helper looks like this

module Admin
    module myHelper
        def somefunc
        end
    end
end

so is it possible to use somefunc outside of the Admin module?

Answer 1

In your application_helper.rb:

module ApplicationHelper
  include Admin::MyHelper
end

This will import those helper methods into the ApplicationHelper, thus making them available in your views. You could do this in any of your helpers really.
