Im trying to extend the UserController

class AdminController \< UserController

end

but I cannot get UserController methods (extended on user engine like  
list method) on AdminController

So could I consider that when Im extending UserController from my App Im  
extending UserController that belongs to LoginEngine and not UserEngine?

Thanks

I found the answer here.  
I dont have to extend like class AdminController \< UserController

I have to create a controller called user\_controller.rb on my  
app/controllers dir.

Thanks anyway
