First of all I’d like to say hello to everyone and congratulate the  
creators of this fine product. This CMS will work perfectly for my  
needs given a bit of customization so thank you for producing it -  
saves me a good deal of time.

I don’t see any way to access the request object from within tags -  
does it not make sense to expose it even though the resulting output  
may be cached? Basically I would like to create a link\_unless\_current  
tag that works within all page contexts.

I’ve tried to alter the site\_controller, behavior.rb and page\_context  
to allow it but the @request always nil’s out right when I want it to  
work :).

Regards,  
Kaleb
