regarding helpers. You need to open up a class and add your methods there.
module System::Web::Mvc::IronRuby::Helpers
class RubyHtmlHelper
def menu_link(text, url, key, route_value_key=:controller)
if key.to_s.underscore ==
view_context.route_data.values[route_value_key].underscore
"<li class='current_page_item'><a href='#{url}'>#{text}</a></li>"
else
"<li><a href='#{url}'>#{text}</a></li>"
end
end
def login_menu_link(login_text="Log in", logout_text="Log out",
login_action=:log_on, logout_action=:log_off, controller=:account)
text, act = view_context.controller.is_authenticated? ? [logout_text,
logout_action] : [login_text, login_action]
menu_link text, "/#{controller}/#{act}", controller
end
def format_chat_body(chat_body)
encode(chat_body).gsub("\n", "<br />")
end
end
end
You can define filters in multiple ways, and the way you've chosen is only
there for working with legacy filters (legacy as in written in C# :)).
for example to implement the AuthorizationFilter you can do so by
implementing the following class
class RubyAuthorizationFilter < AuthorizationFilter
def on_authorization(context)
# put authorization logic here
end
end
and then in the controller you do
filter RubyAuthorizationFilter
or you could do it in a more rubyesque way
authorized_action :index do |context|
# add authorization logic here
end
from then on that controller requires authorization to get to its actions.
The latter uses the built in AuthorizationFilter too but tucks it away.
If you're curious as to how this works:

Hope this helps
