is there a way to know what action you're in?

I have a partial that is placed in many different pages, or, in rails terms, participates in many different actions.

So, the partial _list.rhtml is on

./admin/show.rhtml

and it's also on

./admin/find.rhtml

I want the partial _list.rhtml to have different behaviors for show and find. Is there an object available on a page, that contains the controller and action for that page?

If you just want to know the action that was requested in the url, params[:action] will have it

Thank you. And, for the sake of other newbies like me, params[:controller] has the controller name in it.

Sorry about that, I missed the part about the controller. Not enough coffee yet :slight_smile:
