Hi, I''m using this plugin to get the default controller / action: module ActionController module Routing def get_default_controller ActionController::Routing::Routes.routes[0].requirements[:controller] end def get_default_action ActionController::Routing::Routes.routes[0].requirements[:action] end end end Is this the best way or is there a more simple / easier way to do this?

But this is my default route: map.connect '''', :controller => "dashboard" Thanks for your reply.

Not that your method doesn''t work. But I would like to do it in the first way too.

Is there any kind of difference between the two routes? map.connect "/" ... map.connect "" ... Or does Rails render them both as the root? Anyone?

Thanks Philip. But then how do I get the seperate controller and action from that default method? I need it to add a seperate class to links with the selected url.

Perhaps you''ve hinted here at your real problem. Are you thinking that you want to do something like add a ''class'' attribute to the link if it''s the current page? If that''s true, perhaps this helps: link_to_unless_current("Dashboard", :controller => ''dashboard'', :action => ''index'') do |text| link_to text, {:controller => ''dashboard'', :action => ''index''}, :class => ''seperate'' end If not, perhaps you can explain what you''re TRYING to do rather than how to accomplish a tiny task that you think is part of the solution. -Rob On Mar 29, 2007, at 4:36 PM, LeonB wrote:> Thanks Philip.
