Rails - Jun 2007 - Can i know the name of my current controller in my views?

Just that: can i know the name of my current controller in my views?

I want to highlite in my main template (the one i use for all the pages)
the current page, to do that i need to know the current controller, and
i don''t want to use a controller variable with a before filter because
i
think there should be a easiest way.

  The current controller is always in the "@controller" variable, so:

  @controller.class.to_s

  If you want the name as a string. If you just want to test if the
controller is a certain type use the "===" operator instead, eg;

  if WidgetController === @controller
     # running under widgetcontroller
  else
    # ...
  end

  Cheers,
    Tyler

umm.... controller.controller_name might be a better solution.

for FooController you get ''foo''
