Newbie ruby string match question

Rails
1

All,

I want to know in the Application.rb controller if I’m on the login
screen.

When I’m on the page I care about the controller variable is
“#ActiveRbac::UserController:0x408b3d6c”

So I want something like:
if controller contains ActiveRbac::UserController

What is the right syntax for the above?

Thanks
Greg

Controller and Action are passed in via the that params hash for every
request. Remember that rails does some url magic to make this

“/hello/world”

more or less mean this

“/dispatch.cgi?controller=hello&action=world”

So you can write a line like this:

do_something if params[:controller] == ‘hello’

Which will fire off on all requests to your HelloController.
