Hi there,
why do I get the error...
undefined method `format_phone_number_for'' for
#<User::MailingsController:0xb70aae58>
... in this situation:
controllers/user/mailings_controller.rb:
=======================================
class User::MailingsController < ApplicationController
def whatever
[...]
[...] format_phone_number_for(@somebody) # <- why is this
"undefined" ?
[...]
end
end
helpers/phonenumber_helper.rb:
=============================
module PhonenumberHelper
def format_phone_number_for(parent)
[...]
end
end
And what do I have to do to have this method available in this
controller?
(I have already tried by including "helper PhonenumberHelper" in the
controller)
Thanks for your help!
Tom

hello im very new to rails but i "think" it should go in the mailings_helper instead of the phonenumber_helper or there should be an application_helper which i think is universal On Apr 22, 12:04 pm, Tom Ha <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi there, > > why do I get the error... > > undefined method `format_phone_number_for'' for > #<User::MailingsController:0xb70aae58> > > ... in this situation: > > controllers/user/mailings_controller.rb: > =======================================> > class User::MailingsController < ApplicationController > def whatever > [...] > [...] format_phone_number_for(@somebody) # <- why is this > "undefined" ? > [...] > end > end > > helpers/phonenumber_helper.rb: > =============================> > module PhonenumberHelper > def format_phone_number_for(parent) > [...] > end > end > > And what do I have to do to have this method available in this > controller? > (I have already tried by including "helper PhonenumberHelper" in the > controller) > > Thanks for your help! > Tom > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Did you try like
include PhonenumberHelper
in mailings_controller.rb and
is phonenumber_helper.rb in app/helpers?

Thanks for your replies! @ Sijo: The problem was resolved by adding "include PhonenumberHelper" in the controller, as you have suggested (I was sure I had done that before...) @ bushfreakz: Any helpers in app/helpers are only available to views, by default. If you have "helper :all" in ApplicationController, all helpers in app/helpers are available to all *views* only. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
