Well, I'm pretty confused... Defining my method as an instance method didn't seem to work when I tried it. I checked it again this morning and... boum, it's working. Really doesn't have a clue why it didn't work at first and works today, I must have missed something last time.
Anyway thanks a lot for your answer, and sorry for this dumb question.
