So you mean doing something like this in the application controller?
def current_user
User.find_by_id(session[:user_id])
end

I use the user id, the account id, the account name and the account id
in several parts of the application. Everytime I need to access the data
I have to add something like this on each controller method...

class AccountsController < ApplicationController
# GET /accounts
# GET /accounts.xml
def index
@accounts = Account.all

@company_id = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.id
@company_name = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.name
@company_address_one =
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.address_one
@company_address_two =
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.address_two
@company_city = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.city
@company_state = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.state
@company_zip = User.find(session[:user_id]).account.zip
@company_web_address =
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.web_address
@company_phone_number_office =
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.phone_number_office
@company_phone_number_fax =
User.find(session[:user_id]).account.phone_number_fax

How can I make the company name available to all views with something
like this... @company_name
