Rails - Feb 2008 - how to access constant array of a model inside a view

Hello All,

      I have this array (of, say User''s contact preferences) inside the
User
model.

CONTACT_PREFERENCES = ["Email", "Mobile Phone",
"Residence Phone", "Office
Phone", "Fax"]

and inside the view (when registering a new user) I have to show them inside
a combo (or a list of check boxes), but when I do something like this

User::CONTACT_PREFERENCES.each { }

it gives me

Symbol as array index


any ideas how I should achieve a similar effect, Thanks in advance.

hmm, does that mean there is no way to do it?
