Hi,

I am attempting to put a plugin together for the first time and am  
having a few problems gettign started.

I have generated the plugin dir’s and have a file called  
personalise\_site.rb  
Also I have placed require ‘personalise\_site’ init.rb

How can I get make all methods I put inside module PersonaliseSite  
available to all views?

Thanks,  
Scott

In your init.rb :

require ‘personalise\_site’  
ActionView::Base.send(:include, PersonaliseSite)
