current_action? and current_controller?
I use them in link_unless_current_controller helper.
def current_action?(options) url_string = CGI.escapeHTML(url_for(options)) params = ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path(url_string, :method => :get) params[:controller] == @controller.controller_name && params[:action] == @controller.action_name end def current_controller?(options) url_string = CGI.escapeHTML(url_for(options)) params = ActionController::Routing::Routes.recognize_path(url_string, :method => :get) params[:controller] == @controller.controller_name end

You should also have a look at github.com/twg/active_link_to if you need an ‘active’ class on your links.
