i have:
file application_helper.rb
module ApplicationHelper
def load_components
@right_sidebar = ‘some stuffs’
end
end
file user_public/blog_helper.rb
module UserPublic::BlogHelper
def load_components
ApplicationHelper.load_components
@right_sidebar += ‘{blog archive}’
end
end
the problem is, i want to load the ApplicationHelper.load_components
method from the BlogHelper.load_components method – but apperently the
application helper is not the root of the blog helper. so how can i
access it?
thanks in advance

You can use ‘super’:
module UserPublic::BlogHelper
def load_components
super
@right_sidebar += ‘{blog archive}’
end
end
super searches the object’s method lookup-path for the next-found
method with the same one as the one that’s being executed. In this
case, it will find the load_components defined in ApplicationHelper.
