I am writing a small plugin for ruby on Rails. I faced a problem while
create a common action for all the controllers. I found a solution for
it, But i am not satisfied with the solution.
The solution that I got is :-
ActionController::Base.class_eval do
def common_action
render :text => "hai"
end
def action_init
self.class.action_methods.add "common_action"
end
before_filter :action_init
end
----
If you have any alternate solution, please provide.

maybe i''m completely confused about what you''re trying to do, but application-controller says the following: # Filters added to this controller apply to all controllers in the application. # Likewise, all the methods added will be available for all controllers. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

that''s right, but you didn''t mention you were trying to write a plugin. in that case try to write it like this: # my_plugin.rb: module MyPlugin def my_action end end # init.rb: ActionController::Base.send :include, MyPlugin hope i didn''t forget anything. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

sorry, just checked it. i gotta be like this:
# my_plugin.rb:
module MyPlugin
def self.included(base)
base.extend(ClassMethods)
end
module ClassMethods
def my_action
# ...
end
end
end
irb(MyOtherController):001:0> MyOtherController.methods.include?
(''my_action'')
=> true
