Rails - Jul 2006 - help getting plugin to work

Hi,

I want to create a plugin that allows easy use of the Yahoo! UI
library similar to the prototype.js and scriptaculous helpers that
come packaged with rails.

just one line in plugins/yui/init.rb

require ''yui_helper''

a little more in plugins/yui/lib/yui_helper.rb

module ActionView
  module Helpers
    module YuiHelper
      def yui_form_remote_tag(options = {})
        options[:html] ||= {}
        options[:html][:action] = options[:html][:action] ||
url_for(options[:url])
        options[:html][:onsubmit]               
"Yui.post_form(''#{options[:html][:action]}'',this);return
false;"
        options[:html][:method] = options[:html][:method] ||
''post''

        tag(''form'', options[:html], true)
      end
    end
  end
end

When I use

<%= yui_form_remote_tag(:url=>{:action=>''update'',
:id=>@category}) %>
in a view I see

undefined method `yui_form_remote_tag'' for
#<#<Class:0x2546c20>:0x2546bf8>

I know the method works when it is in my application_helper.rb file
but what do I have to say in yui_helper.rb to make the method visible
from within the plugin?

Thanks,
Peter
