It sounds like, maybe you're setting it once in application.rb rather than once per request/response cycle? Instance variables (and IIRC class variables too) have a one-cycle lifetime. That would explain why a global 'works'. The 'typical' approach to setting an instance variable that's needed for every render would be to add a before_filter in all your controllers that invokes the application.rb method.
