Link_to_remote undefined within controller?

Rails
1

I can’t seem to use ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelpers from a
controller - specifically, I’m trying to use the link_to_remote helper
to create an Ajax link from within a controller function called from a
previous link_to_remote call.

The error is:
undefined method `link_to_remote’ for #MatchController:0x35e3370

If I try to import the PrototypeHelpers module, instead I get:
undefined method `options_for_javascript’ for
#MatchController:0x35f94f4

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
ben

That’s by design. You should really have a partial that gets rendered
from
your controller. The partial would contain the link_to_remote.
