Rails - Jan 2006 - Newbe:Where declare constants visible in view & controller ?

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
 Christian

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.
