Rails - Jul 2006 - meantime_filter won''t pick up my missing methods

<code><pre>
module Scope
  protected
    def method_missing(method_id, *arguments, &block)
      if method_id.id2name =~ /^scope_([_a-z]\w*)_to_([_a-z]\w*)/
        scope_model($1.singularize.capitalize, "#{$2}_id", &block)
      else
        super
      end
    end

    def scope_model(klass, foreign_key, &block)
      eval(klass).with_scope({
        :find => { :conditions => [ "#{foreign_key} = ?", 
params[foreign_key] ]},
        :create => { :user_id => params[foreign_key] }
      }, &block)
    end
end
</pre></code>

Creates methods like ''scope_products_to_user'', 
''scope_messages_to_mailbox'', etc.

The problem is meantime_filter isn''t running my method_missing method.

<code><pre>
meantime_filter :scope_products_to_user #=> NameError: undefined method 
`scope_products_to_user'' for class `ProductsController''
</pre></code>


I can only seem to run the methods from the controller.

<code><pre>
meantime_filter :scope_products_to_user_temp
def scope_products_to_user_temp
  scope_products_to_user { yield }
end
</pre></code>

This works fine.

I think the problem is with how meantime_filter runs its methods.

If it''s not fixable, is there any of good ways of achieving the same 
effect?
