scope problem: controller class methods and helpers.

http://pastie.org/404716

Only produces "hello", not "world".

Which is as designed, but how do I make it do what I want - namely, set a variable in a class method, and have that variable available in a view helper?

Only instance variables of the controller are copied across to the view (your bar is an instance variable of the class). easiest way would probably be to have an accessor method for it and then you can do controller.bar in your view.
