[Facebooker-talk] Problems with *_path() and *_url() helpers when using Publisher

[Nick Holland]

Mike,

We use both singular and non-singular resources in the partials for
notifications, templatized actions and profiles, they all seem to
elicit the same problem.

It seems like were getting closer to solving the issue, as *_path()
now returns the relative path of the resource, but I can't seem to get
it to spit out an absolute path, without hitting the error "Missing
host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set
default_url_options[:host]".

When I do try using :only_path => false as a parameter to our *_path()
calls, I get an exception stating that it the default_url_options
method doesn't exist. The partials can't see the default_url_options
method from the base class or even from my own class that extends
Publisher (if I throw it in there as a test).

I appreciate you digging deeper, Mike!
