Rails - Sep 2006 - modularized controller can't find application_helper methods

Hey everyone,

Im having this weird problem. I made a controller by calling it 
home/my_inbox to try to modularize everything. However, I cant call any 
methods from the application_helper.rb file. Any reason why?

NoMethodError in Home/my inboxController#message

undefined method `book_viewing_message?'' for 
#<Home::MyInboxController:0x3a311b0>

RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/home/my_inbox_controller.rb:12:in 
`message''

It looks like you are trying to call it directly from the controller, 
you should be calling the method from the view template instead. Methods 
defined in application_helper.rb are available to all view templates, 
not directly from the controller.

(You can do it, but you need to define a couple of other things inside 
the Application Controller, and it''s not very clean)

I''d personally put the required methods into a separate class/module in
the lib directory and then require them from the controllers you need to 
use.
