Ruby on Rails: current_page? problem when using actions

Question

I'm now implementing navigation tabs for my Rails application. I would like to generate different CSS and html for current tab (add id="current" and do not link the title) - basic stuff.

I found the function: current_page? but unfortunately it doesn't work in a way i would expect:

When I call: current_page?(:controller => "bank_account") it returns true for /bank_account but not for /bank_account/soem_action

Is there a way to force current_page? to return true in this case? So when I don't specify the action it should return true for all the actions of the given controller.

Answer 1

You could use

controller.controller_name

to retrieve the controllers name in a view.
