Now, i thought of writing a plugin. So steps i done:- 1) Creates new rails app. 2) Creates plugin using ./script/generate plugin "NAME". This will create necessary files in vendor/plugins/"NAME" dir. 3) Changed vendor/plugins/"NAME"/init.rb to include the lib file. (/lib/"NAME".rb)
4) My lib/"NAME".rb looks like this. module "NAME" def hello return "hello" end def world return "world" end end 5) Creates a model and included the plugin into that model using require. require "NAME" I think this all is OK upto now. But after it when i go to console and type NAME.hello why does'nt it work.. It should work, right? Or i am missing something.
Can anyone out there light me up 
Why don’t you just copy the model over to your new application?

Falling at the last hurdle - if you want to add a module's method to a class you need to use include (require just loads the file containing the module - it doesn't then do anything with that module). You can then do SomeClass.new.hello
