Hi. I’m creating menu items on a webpage. For the sake of cleaner code  
I’d like to create menu items in controller and just iterate through in  
my rthml.

So, in modules I have created  
class Menu  
def items  
review = MenuItem.new(stringReview, “main”, true)  
edit = MenuItem.new(stringEditQuestions, “logoff”, false)  
logoff = MenuItem.new(stringLogoff, “logoff”, false)  
@items = [review, edit, logoff]  
end  
end

and in rhtml

 \<% @menuitems.each do |item| %\> - \<%= item.name, :action =\> item.action %\>
 \<% end %\>

But I’m receiving “undefined method `items’ for Menu:Class”  
What is incorrect? Or is there any better “ruby way”??

Thanks a lot!!
