Hello, currently I''m writing on a PlugIn for my Project. In this PlugIn I MUST include two Constants. But where do I include them? Here''s the Code of the PlugIn: # Status module ___Plugins module Internal #:nodoc: module Status #:nodoc: def self.included(base) base.extend ClassMethods end module ClassMethods def status include ___Plugins::Internal::Status::InstanceMethods extend ___Plugins::Internal::Status::SingletonMethods attr_accessor :public_state attr_accessor :commentable_state validates_inclusion_of :public_state, :in => PUBLIC_STATE validates_inclusion_of :commentable_state, :in => COMMENTABLE_STATE end PUBLIC_STATE = { ''closed'' => ''Geschlossen'', ''password_safe'' => ''Password geschützt'', ''friends_only'' => ''Nur für Freunde offen'', ''opened'' => ''Offen'' } COMMENTABLE_STATE = { ''world'' => ''Jeder'', ''internal'' => ''___.de Nutzer'', ''friends'' => ''Nur Freunde'', ''nobody'' => ''Keiner'' } end # This module contains instance methods module InstanceMethods def can_see?(user) return false if self.user.is_ignored?(user) return true if self.public_state == "opened" return true if self.public_state == "password_safe" return true if self.public_state == "friends_only" && self.user.is_friend?(user) return false end def can_comment?(user) return false if self.user.is_ignored?(user) return true if self.commentable_state == "world" return true if self.commentable_state == "internal" && (user && User.find_by_id(user.id)) return true if self.commentable_state == "friends" && self.user.is_friend?(user) end end # This module contains class methods module SingletonMethods end end end end Sorry but I have to mask the domain name with underscores. The two constants are PUBLIC_STATE and COMMENTABLE_STATE. When I run the Controller Action I get the following error message: "uninitialized constant PUBLIC_STATE" Source: 5: <pre><%= h album.description %></pre> 6: <p><a href="http://<%= current_user.login %>.___.de/photoalbum/show/<%= album.permalink %>">http://<%current_user.login %>.___.de/photoalbum/show/<%= album.permalink %></a></p> 7: <p> 8: Status: <%= PhotoAlbum::PUBLIC_STATE[album.public_state] %><br /> 9: Kommentieren: <%PhotoAlbum::COMMENTABLE_STATE[album.commentable_state] %> 10: </p> 11: <p> But why? I mixed the module ___::Internal::Status into my PhotoAlbum model class.
