I tried making EventSearcher just inherit from object, ie: class EventSearcher
but then I get errors from almost the first line, eg. failed with NameError: undefined local variable or method `logger' for my debug statements, and I don't suppose it'll know about my model Classes either. Having it inherit from ApplicationController solves these problems, but is there a better way of doing this? cheers, Mike -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
