Rails - Dec 2007 - Plugin init.rb help

Hi,

I have created a plugin that has the following code in the init.rb
    ActionController::Base.send :include, PersonaliseSite

The PersonaliseSite module has a class which_country that returns
''uk''
as a string.

Which means I can sucessfully do somthing like this in my users
controller

    #
    # render new.rhtml
    def new
       @user = User.new
       @user.country = which_country
    end

However whenever I pass which_country into the following line of code
    record_select   :per_page => 10,
                    :search_on => ''full_name'',
                    :order_by => "field(country, #{which_country})"

I get a undefined local variable or method `which_country'' for
UsersController:Class error.

Has anyone any suggestions on what is going on and why it can access the
value within a method but not within the above code

thanks
scott

Maybe because you should have a instance method called
which_country and also a class method called which_country.
