Try ActionController::Base#controller_name Kent.

Why not just pass it on query string. Redirect_to is a full 302 browser redirect, so it shouldn''t have any knowledge (outside of HTTP_REFERER, which isn''t dependable) of the previous controller. However, as with everything else in life, I could be wrong.

[Rails] Re: Getting the name of the calling controller
Hmm, doesn''t seem to exist after all.
Best I can come up with is
request.path.split(''/'')[1]
which isn''t exactly intuitive and may not work in some environments...
