I tried it, and it does work. But how can I make it work on the
APPLICATION CONTROLLER instead of on an individual controller. Several
views need the account_id, so I would have to repeat myself in several
controllers writing
@company_name = company_name
For example with this code in the application controller...
def company_id
@company_id = User.find_by_id(session[:user_id]).account.id
end
@company_id = company_id
I get this error...
Routing Error
undefined local variable or method `company_id' for
ApplicationController:Class
