What do you mean by "load a path"? A path isn't a ruby file, so you can't load
it. If you mean "load all ruby files contained in a directory", you can do
something like this:

dir = RAILS_ROOT+"/public/users/#{self.login}/lib/"
Dir.entries(d).each do |f|
  load File.join(d, f) if file.match(/\.rb$/)
end

It is NOT recommended to put ruby files under Rails "public" directory
because their files can be shown by any web browsers in the world.

dir = RAILS_ROOT+"/public/users/#{self.login}/lib/"
Dir.entries(d).each do |f|
  load File.join(d, f) if file.match(/\.rb$/)
end

Dir. or Dir.glob is easier.

Dir.glob("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/users/#{self.login}/lib/*.rb").each { |f| load(f) }

Thanks guys,

That was very helpful and just what I wanted.

I will try to move the files to another folder for security then.
