RE: Help mixin in class methods

Rails
1

Saw this
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/35979

so

module Foo
module ClassMethods
def bar
puts ‘hello from class method bar’
end
end

include ClassMethods

def self.append_features(klass)
super
klass.extend(ClassMethods)
end
end

class FooBar
include Foo
end

FooBar.bar

hello from class method bar

Thanks for this. Couldn’t make it work, but it gave me the energy to
give it another go, and with the help of the Pickaxe, managed to make it
work.

What I did (in case anyone else needs it) is split the module into two
submodules, then include the submodule containing the instance methods,
and extend [the class with] the one containing the class methods. So it
looked like this:
[lib/trust_ranking.rb]
module TrustRanking
module ClassMethods
def shinynewclassmethod
# stuff here
end

   #more methods
end

module InstanceMethods
    def shinynewinstancemethod
        # stuff here
   end

   #more methods
end

end

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
include TrustRanking::InstanceMethods
extend TrustRanking::ClassMethods

end

Thanks again for your help.

I get “uninitialized constant ClassMethods” when I try this:

require “sort_order”

class Player < ActiveRecord::Base
include SortOrder::ClassMethods
tester
end

module SortOrder
module ClassMethods
def tester
@test = 2
end
end

module InstanceMethods
def testers
@test = 35
end
end
end

This error occured while loading the following files:
player.rb
sort_order/class_methods.rb

So, why does it try for a secondary file?
