Hey James, Thanks for the tips.
Actually my problem was resolved using a combination of alias_method_chain and config.plugin = [ "engine", "*"]. I ran into another small problem ... Trying to use another application that I built as a plugin, I found that the stylesheets don't get loaded. I tried to invoke them using <%= "engine_stylesheet 'stylesheet' %> but that returns an error saying that engine_stylesheet is undefined... Any clues?

Hi Hugo, Using alias_method_chain is normally quite easy, but if you're doing it from within a module you need to be sure that the "alias_method_chain" call is made on the base class when it's included - see the top of engines/lib/engines/rails_extensions/rails_initializer.rb for an example - I'm using base.class_eval to make the calls to alias_method_chain as if they were in the including class itself. My guess is that it's something like this which is stopping your methods being called - have a play around and if you're still not making any progress, email us the code and we'll take a look. Cheers and thanks for the nice comments :) James On 2/20/07, Hugo Levasseur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am a member of Steve's team (he posted last month about the 1.2branch). > > 1st Thanks for the amazing work to James!
