Helpers are automatically loaded by controllers if they share the same
root name, i.e. the 'PublishController' will try and load the
'PublishHelper'... if you want to include other helpers, you need to
explicitly include them in your controller, probably using the
'helper' class method, i.e.
class PublishHelper < ApplicationController
helper :article
# ..
end
BTW, to call a 'class-level' method, you should be using
PublishHelper.getmenu(), rather than PublishHelper::getmenu()
