Hey Rob -
I think I understand the question
Is this what you're looking for:
template will return the full name of the current template
if you stick it in your layout it'll just render the name of the
layout.
If you stick it in each template (a little more work) then it'll
return the name of the template.
Id stick this in an application_helper like so:
def this_temp
template.to_s.split(".")[0]
end
This hacks of the filetype extention (html.erb) leaving just the name
Calling this in the view will give you
<%= this_temp %> => mains/new
Hope that helps?
