How to check the calling method?

Hey guys, quick question,

What's the easiest way in rail to check which action called another method?

For example, say I wanted to run a method inside a method but only if called by a specific top method.

i.e

def method_1   # Only run if called by a specific method   if <insert check calling method code here> == "specific method"     method_2()   end end

Thanks

You can use caller inside the method, or perhaps params[:action].

I wouldn’t do it that way though. Just allow the method to take a parameter specifiying if that extra bit of code should be run.
