According to this article Rails helpers from all controllers are available to all views. But to me this looks kind of a dangerous approach because I might at some point use helper methods with the same name but with different implementations that can cause conflicts and undesired results. This actually happened one time and it took me quite some time to figure out the problem. Why is the Rails helper scope this way? What is the reason for sharing? Does anyone had any problems with this approach? Is there another recommended way to work? http://strugglingwithruby.blogspot.com.br/2008/10/view-part-2-scope-helpers-and-partials.html Thank you Rod -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
