Rails - Feb 2005 - Application helper not recognising model

hi all
I have the following code in the ApplicationHelper module

     def foobar
         #@obj = User.find(1)
         @obj = Crumb.find(1)
     end


here''s the  view which calls foobar() :

<%= foobar %>
<p>Test view - User/Control_Panel</p>

User.find works without errors, Crumb.find throws :

NameError in User#control_panel
Showing /user/control_panel.rhtml where line #1 raised uninitialized 
constant ApplicationHelper::Crumb

I have several models, only User.find(1) and Site.find(1) work without 
errors. No matter which other model I use I get the above exception when 
I try to use them from foobar().

The models all work great in any controller and there''s no fundemental 
difference between the models - they''re all sub-classes of 
ActiveRecord::base

I''m really baffled by this and would appreciate some help
thanks

I figured it out. i was calling foobar from a view which belonged to the 
User controller (which depends on the User model). The User model was 
associated with the Site model and so bth those models worked. I had to 
add ''model [:crumb]'' to the ApplicationController class and it
works
now. I hope this helps someone else
