Rails - Feb 2011 - How do you a new inflection rule in Rails 3?

Hi,

I''m trying to implement dehumanize method in Rails 3. Basically what
this post does:
http://rubyglasses.blogspot.com/2009/04/dehumanizing-rails.html

Here:

module ActiveSupport::Inflector
  # does the opposite of humanize.... mostly. Basically does a
  # space-substituting .underscore
  def dehumanize(the_string)
    result = the_string.to_s.dup
    result.downcase.gsub(/ +/,''_'')
  end
end
class String
  def dehumanize
    ActiveSupport::Inflector.dehumanize(self)
  end
end


config/inflections.rb in Rails 3 says:

# Add new inflection rules using the following format
ActiveSupport::Inflector.inflections do |inflect|
   inflect.plural /^(ox)$/i, ''\1en''
end

But if change that to inflect.pluralo /^(ox)$/i, ''\1en''
It will complain with:
`block in <top (required)>'': undefined method `pluralo''
for
#<ActiveSupport::Inflector::Inflections:0x00000100d5f560>
(NoMethodError)

I''m missing something.

Cheers.

plural != pluralo

Hi, do you mean that I misspelled the name?
What I mean is that any new name I put there generates a method not
found error.

So if I write inflect.dehumanize I get:
`block in <top (required)>'': undefined method
`dehumanize'' for
#<ActiveSupport::Inflector::Inflections:0x00000100d5f560>
(NoMethodError)

So apparently something else is needed other than the rule in that file
(?)

I wasn''t clear, sorry.
