</div>

current\_page?(:action =\> ‘edit’, :controller =\> ‘admin/products’)  
fails with an ActionView::TemplateError (No route matches …) unless  
I’m in the edit action or I provide the :id.

Route:  
/admin/products/:id/edit(.:format) {:action =\> ‘edit’, :controller =\>  
‘admin/products’}

I understand why this happens, but is there a way to make  
current\_page? check for edit routes without specifying an id?

Thanks
