How do I call a Rails helper method from inside another helper method?
Just call it.
If it is in a different helper file, your controller can include the other helpfile by using the controller method "helper"
Added:
Here is an example:
# in the view<%= my_helper %># in the helper filedef my_helper "<div>" + someother_helper_which_generates_html + "</div>"end
** Please add more details to your question if this isn't helping....
Something like this should help you (say, in application_helper.rb)
module ApplicationHelper def create_div html("this is some content") end def html(content) "<div>#{content}</div>" endend
In this case, the create_div method is calling the html method with a string as an argument. the html method returns a string of HTML with the argument you supply embedded. in a view, it would look like:
<%= create_div %>
hope this helps!
