Rails - Aug 2009 - cant find method in application_helper from layout

I am having some trouble with an old app I need to work on..

I have managed to get it mostly working with Rails 2.3,
but I have run into this problem:

undefined method `class_current_controller?'' for
#<ActionView::Base:0x224c6a4>

class_current_controller? is defined in application_helper.rb

it should be finding it no?
not sure what is going on here..

I tried writing a test method and calling that from the layout just to
make sure and I get the same problem.

any help much appreciated!

thanks
adam

Is class_current_controller? a instance or a class method?

Its just a normal method defined in application_helper... I assume its
an instance method of the helper, it is not defined as ''def
self.method''
Its defined as:  ''def class_current_controller?''

Thanks

Ok the problem was, I am using comatose, and the comatose_admin layout 
did not have access to application_helper - solutions was simply to add 
"helper ''application''" to
comatose_admin_controller.rb

Perhaps there has been a change in rails that means that 
application_helper is not available to plugins without declaration?
