VC names

Hi people.

Maybe I'm stupid ( didn't found solution over search function ) but I'm interested if there is any methods like

get_controller_name() or get_view_name()?

I really need em and if there is no solutions like this that I know to develop it.

Cheers.

The "heavy" way to get the controller is

Code:

$RTR =& load_class('Router');

$class  = $RTR->fetch_class();

The lean way is

Code:

$class = $this->uri->rsegment(1);

I'm not sure why you should need to get the view name as it is the last stage of the page rendering. If you want to change the output you can add a _output function to the controller and if you want this for all/most controllers you can add a post_controller hook.

The router class has been available as an object variable since CI 1.7, like so

Code:

$this->router->fetch_class()

that is good to know.

call me crazy but can't you use the get_class() function? (assuming you are using PHP5.0+)

Or even __CLASS__

Hehehe. Yea I can. Now what I'm doin.

Finding out controller and view to be able automatically load javascript page for it based on controller and view position. Because there can be used rewite route, it can be a little bit buggy if I do it over "normal" way. ( need to know which method, class and view loaded in order to be able do it how I like. )

Want to brainstorm complete CI so I'm looking for a hard way always

Thanks for info. I really appreciate it. Now I go play a little bit with it.
Anyway, now I found it lol. Sorry for that, but kinda sometimes I know to ask really stupid questions indeed.
