Ruby on Rails

This is close to what I want, I think.

Where does the "@mailer_name = caller_locations(1,1)[0].label " go?  In a controller?  In a view?

What I really want is to not have to modify the source modules that are invoking the rendering but, instead, have the _header.html.erb source module dynamically say "I got invoked by root.html.erb".

Things get a bit more dicey, I think, if the sequence is
  root.html.erb
  appllication.html.erb     (authomagically invoked)
  root.html.erb

Thoughts?

I've done stuff stuff like this to pass in, to say, a mailer view to know how it is being called.  Some variation of that might work for you:

@mailer_name = caller_locations(1,1)[0].label

Hope that helps.
