Hi i had a quick question.
if i have a class inside a folder say controllers >> plugins >>
test_plugin_conroller.rb, how can i get a reference to this class and
call .new on it to create an instance of it. Iv tried doing this:
@s = Kernel.const_get("TestPluginController")
@sc = @st.new
but it sais uninitialized constant TestPluginController, does anyone
have a solution? thank you for the help.
Brandon

Why would you have a model inside of the controllers folder? I believe you just need a require statement to load the model file if it''s outside the normal models location.

test_plugin_controller.rb *does* contain
Class TestPluginController
stufff
end
, doesn''t it?
Also: check from the console that that class has actually been loaded
by your Rails app. If not, that''s probably the issue.
Otherwise, Kernel.const_get("TestPluginController").new *should* work.

Ok so i moved the plugin to models >> plugins >> test.rb
test.rb contains
class Test < ActiveRecord::Base
end
so i did
require("models/plugins/test.rb")
@s = Kernel.const_get("Test")
@sc = @st.new
and it said
Test is not a class
any other ideas? thank you so much for your help
