Rails: using helper methods from config

Question

How would I go about using helper methods from a config file?

This may be unorthodox but it makes sense in the context that I need it. The helper method I need is used to properly format URLs in one of my views. The config file is the initializer for the sitemap_generator Gem, where I need the helper method to format some of the URLs.

I tried require, which does indeed include the module, but get undefined method for module when I call it.

This is how you include your helper in the SitemapGenerator config :

SitemapGenerator::Interpreter.send :include, ApplicationHelper
