Hi,

Just trying to write a simple plugin, I dont want it to be part of the  
app all the time so I want it to be contained in the plugin. When I  
access, [http://0.0.0.0:3000/plugin\_test](http://0.0.0.0:3000/plugin_test)  
I want it to display the index Ive created in my controller, Ive set  
it up in files,

init.rb:

ActionController::Base.send(:include, PluginTest)

lib/plugin\_test.rb

module PluginTest

class PluginTestController \< ActionController::Base

```
  def index
    puts "here"
    return render :text => "yay some text!"
  end

end

```

end

But when I visit the page, I get a routing error. Im sure Im doing  
something slightly wrong, but cant figure out what.
