One thing, I'm not sure if this is important or not.. Article is defined in one plugin, and then another plugin is modifying Article. So it's not as if there's an Article class underneath my rails_root, everything is underneath vendor/plugins.
The whole basis for this is a pluggable blogging system I'm trying to create, http://github.com/carpeliam/plogger which keeps the blog- related models out of the app space. Article is defined in the plogger plugin, and then modified in a plogger_thinking_sphinx plugin (http:// github.com/carpeliam/plogger_thinking_sphinx) to include searching.
