[Masterview-users] Urgent Help! - User directives no longer functioning in 0.2.2

[Ed Howland]

Thanks Jeff. I got confused by the masterview_plugin generator which
when I ran it created 'vendor/plugins/masterview/directives' which was
where I installed them previously. Since that option was commented
out, I assumed it still picked up any there and that you could add
additional ones in the settings.

I suggest that you make a note of this in the announcement, since
others may run into this as well.

Also, I never explicitly require 'masterview' anywhere. Are you
suggesting this in one of the normal Rails configuration files? Or in
vendor/plugins/masterview/init.rb?

Thanks
Ed
