Thanks for the help Gavin, it wasn't quite what I was looking for. Its a bit of a weird one. Given a particular layout I want to know the name of the template that is used in the
<%= yield %> Which is a bit weird, I know. I would imagine that the results of the yield are just a big string, by which time its a bit late to work out what the name of the template I just rendered was. Hmmzzz. Thanks all the same :) RobL http://www.robl.me Gavin wrote: > 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? > > > On Feb 26, 12:52 pm, Rob Lacey <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hey guys, >> >> I'm trying to extract the name of the template I am currently to be >> yielding from my layout, but with no success.
