How to get current method/action name from layout rhtml

Rails
1

I want to know what is current controller / action in my layout.rhtml
shared by all my rhtml files to make some style changes.

I am new in ruby and RoR, I believe there must be a simple solution for
this.

Any help would be great appreciated!!!

There sure is a better soluition, but i added a before_filter in my
application controller like this:

before_filter :set_canames

…
private
def set_canames
@cname = controller_name
@aname = action_name
end

there probably is a better way, but it works.

In your views, you can use controller.controller_name and I’m sure there
is
a method for the action but I don’t know it off the top of my head.
action_name would make the most sense.

There was a recent post with similar information. I believe you do have
access to ‘controller’ in the views (and layouts) therefore it is
possible to use

controller.controller_name
controller.action_name
