This is a very straightforward problem…
-I included a mixin in lib/ (see below)
-In environment.rb, I included the require statement (require
‘acts_as_tree_additions’)
-Defined a method in the model:
def category_list
format_as_list #method in acts_as_tree_additions
end
-Called that method in the view…
I know the method is in the correct use, because it prints out a string
if I replace ‘format_as_list’ with a string in category_list. However,
it’s not working as expected for the mixin.
Another thing is that this is a shared server, and does not need a
restart of the server (which couldn’t be done either way with their port
blocking). ‘require’ code works for file_column without a restart, but
not this… Am I doing something wrong?
