Namespace helpers

Rails
1

I have two people_controller and people_helper. One in the controller
and helper directory and the other in the controller/admin and helper/
admin namespace. The reason I have two controllers is because I want
different views and functionality based on wether the user is an admin
or not. I know how to distinguish calling the controllers, but I
don’t know how to distinguish the helpers. To include the people
helper I use;

helper :people

How do I include the helper in the admin directory?

By the way, is there a difference between;

helper :people

and

include PeopleHelper

??

what you told that
“I know how to distinguish calling the controllers”

if you can then how ?

but I don’t know how to distinguish the helpers. To include the people

or
helper ‘admin::people’

yes – both are different

first one do both ruby magic require & include
second one do include only
