Put #a_method into app/controllers/application.rb instead. This file defines the class ApplicationController which your other controllers inherit from, so this will make the method available in all controllers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Mark is right and the other option you have is use mixin ie create a module, put your a_method in it and include that module in both controller classes. This will make your a_method available in both controllers or in any controller in which you include that module.
