Which controller called my helper method?

Rails
1

Hey All,

Is there a global var or something that holds the name of the controller
that called a given helper? I’m trying to re-use a partial, which calls
a helper, and need to do something slightly different depending on which
controller called the helper.

Thanks!

controller and action are always in your params

If you can do params[:id] then you can do params[:controller] :slight_smile:

Ah–and the params hash is accessible from my helper–bitchin’!

I’m set…

Thanks very much!.
