Hi, What's the recommended method of accessing helper methods from controllers? For example, if I wanted to use the pluralize method from ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper in one of my controllers for flash messages, how would I make it accessible?
Many thanks, Jordan
Because the use of helpers is discouraged in controllers (as you are supposed to use them on views) is a little hard to do that. One option could be:
aht= ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
aht.module_eval do module_function :pluralize end
Then you could do:
flash[:notice]= aht.pluralize("thing")
Not very nice tough...
No, but I'll give it a try 
Thanks.
