Rails - Nov 2008 - writing a method that is accessible from any views as well as any controller

HI guys where should i have  to write the method that it is
accessibible from any controller and any views. When i write the
method in application controller then it is accessible in controller
only and when i write it on application helper it is accessible on
views only. I even tried to write it as module in the lib and included
in the application controller, in that case it becomes inaccessible in
views.

Write the code in ApplicationController, declare it as protected. Then 
to make it accessible to views, still in application.rb, use the method: 
helper_method(your_method_name), and voilà.
