I have a users controller which is used for users profile

then i routed from

/users/{username}

to

/{username}

but now if i want to add pages like

i face a problem where i cant access which page i am at via the params[] code

my route looks like

  match '/home' => 'home#index'

  #change /users/{username} to /{username}
  match '/:username' => 'users#show'

i need to know which page i am for my navigation menu so i can add an active class to highlight the page

is there any way i can do this?
