If you really want to use an existing Rails helper in your
controllers, do the following :
1. add the following the following code to your
application_controller (a singleton and a method):
class Helper
include Singleton
include ActionView::Helpers::DateHelper
include ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper
# include other helpers
end
def helpers
Helper.instance
end
2. Use the helpers in your controller : @nice_string =
helpers.distance_of_time_in_words(@t1,@t2)
