Rails - Mar 2006 - validates... :if => Proc.new{...} does not find a method!

Hi all

I wanted to use the following validation in my model Party:

validates_presence_of :organisator_name,
                      :if => Proc.new{ member.organisators.empty? }

I have written the member method in the ApplicationController:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  def member
    session[:member]
  end
end

But it does not seem to be known by the Party Model...

Any help, please? :-)

Greetings,
Josh

OK, I found the problem now. The models can''t know the method member, 
because it''s only declarated in the controllers... How can I import
this
method into the models?

Thanks for help.
