Checking redirection or the previous action

Hi you all, I have two actions in my controller in this way:

def list_by_bubble     Bla bla bla     redirect_to(:action => 'list_by_filter') end def list_by_filter   #To display always   Bla bla bla   #To display just the rest of the times   Bla bla bla end

That is, the first time, user will go to list_by_bubble, and it redirects to list_by_filter. In this method, I just one to display the "display always stuff", not the other. The other stuff will be executed the rest of the times, but not this first time. So, my question is, how can I get in "list_by_filter" if the previous action was "list_by_bubble" or not? Or if I have reached there by a redirection?

Thanks :smiley:

Not sure I understand what you're trying to do. It sounds like you might want to have a single list action, with a default set of parameters:

def list   if #first time visited here     foo   else     bar   end end

The condition could be set a number of ways -- in the session, with a cookie, or via a flag in the user's record.

Hope this helps Chris
