I have a simple standalone model that doesn't inherit from ActiveRecord or anything else, called SmsSender. As the name suggests, it delivers text messages to an SMS gateway.
I also have an ActiveRecord model called SmsMessage which has an instance method called deliver:
def deliver
SmsSender.deliver_message(self)
self.update_attributes :status => "Sent"
end
The above is returning uninitialized constant SmsSender. I'm sure this is dead simple, but how can I access the SmsSender class from within my model?
