Hi Chaps,

How can I check if the page is using a controllers action. for example i got a helper method that needs to know if a certain controller action is run on the page or not so as to display different content for it.

Thought it was just

code = "xyz" if Controllername.action?

Cheers,

Rog

If I correctly understood what you need, you may try using:

Controller.action_methods.include?params[:action]

Where params[:action] will contain the slice of the url corresponding to the action in the last request

Your views have access to the controller and method that rendered them via controller.controller_name and controller.action_name

e.g., <% if controller.controller_name == 'posts' %>   <% if controller.action_name == 'create' %>     <%= do whatever %>   <% end %> <% end %>
