I’m coding with a Rails plugin, which need to extend ActionController  
so that action callback can be made when a view-generated hyper-link  
is clicked.

But when i wrote some code like these:

module MyController  
def callback\_action()  
@origin\_page=’’  
p params  
redirect\_to :action=\>:index  
end  
end

and wrote these in init.rb:

```
  ActionController::Base.send(:include, MyController)

```

Rails seemed not knowing this callback\_action method ( ’ unknown  
action callback\_action in xxx’)

why? So , what should I do to extend the fucking  
ActionController::Base ?

help me!

do you have a real MyController class.  
not a module

if you have both MyController Module And MyController Class.

may not work correct.
