you can include them in the model if you want. Mybe i get some screaming for this as models and views should be completely separate and independent (so if you change the routes, for example, you would have to change this method, for you its not a problem because you worte it, but in a project with more people, it would net be a normal thing to do.
just include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper. and you can get methods like url_for. I would defenitely put such method in a callback in the model: after_create :announce On Mar 14, 12:21 am, Mike C <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm thinking about using observers for my situation.

Since observers are also a type of > model, I was wondering if these methods don't work in them either? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
