Newbe:Where declare constants visible in view & controller?

Rails
1

I am using some constants that should be visible in the controller and
in a view.

Declaring the constant in the controller does not make the constant
visible in the view.

So my question:
Where can I declare the constant to be visible in all views and
controllers ?

Thanks a lot in advance

Set a instance attribute in the controller via before_filter.

Christain-

I usually put my constants in the environment.rb file. This way they

will be available everywhere in the whole app. just remember to
restart the webserver after makig changes to them.
