how to access variable in 3 level (model,controller,view)

i use session[:current_unit] only can in C and V
can’t access in M

i mean is use a goloble variable can access in anywhere

Such as:
user slecet a Unit,
in model, before User.save the user.unit_id must set
session[:user_id]
in login form User must select a unit , this is current_unit, I
save it in session[:user_id]
but how can i get it in model
or there are an other mothed to handle it?

You probably don’t want to use a global variable for this.

Such as:
user slecet a Unit,
in model, before User.save the user.unit_id must set
session[:user_id]
in login form User must select a unit , this is current_unit, I
save it in session[:user_id]

It sounds like you’re not going about this correctly. Can you give more
details of what you’re trying to do?

thanks!

In declarative_authorization you can do

  before_filter {|c| Authorization.current_user = c.current_user}

in ApplicationController, then call

  using_access_control

in Model, and you get current_user(or something like that) in your
model. Check how they do it.

Also, there is a hack from @lifo(Rails core team and 37signals member)
