What can i use instead of a model for settings?

In my rails app i created an extra model for settings. Im wondering if there is anything better to safe the settings! The thing is that settings represent one instance of this model! I considerd to safe my settings to a yaml file but the probem is that then i cannot easily call them in my controllers? What would you suggest? Thanks

I believe you're talking about application based settings? If so we use the application's config file to put global settings. The config looks like this:

# config/environments/production.rb
Application.configure do
  config.setting = true
end

You can access the setting via:

Rails.application.config.setting

The nice bit about this is that you can do settings based on each individual environment.
