Rails - Nov 2006 - ActionMailer & application_helper.rb

Hi,

I''m trying to send some emails with the same formatting as my pages
& I
can''t seem to access my display routines in application_helper.rb.
I''m
trying a hack to bypass this.

At the top of my ActionMailer notifier script I''ve included
application_helper.rb - my understanding is that this should arrive as a
module and should be able to be used accordingly.

<% require File.dirname(__FILE__) +
''/../../helpers/application_helper.rb'' %>
<% display_money = ApplicationHelper.display_money -%>

However I get a compile error:

undefined method `display_money'' for ApplicationHelper:Module

The ''display_money'' routine does exist in
application_helper.rb & is
working happily when rendering my pages.

Any ideas on how I can overcome this?

I think you can make the application helper available by adding:

helper :application

to the mailer model.
