Ruby on Rails Sunday, May 30, 2010

Hi,

Basically I recently been playing around with my ruby on rails system,
and I'm wondering how I can get it to pick some words from the :name
of the tutorial (I have a system with categories and tutorials) and
make this into what I call a tagged domain, basically instead of it
showing the ID in the URL, it would instead show something like so:
keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword-keyword

Is this possible? If it is then how would I go about doing it?


Also if I could change the categories URL so instead of categories/ID
it could be categories/UrlName (a property which I would make); I
assume this second task would be considerably easier than the first as
it seems RoR being a clever language would make it easy to do this
through routes.rb (or something, I'm really still not sure how I can
change the URL properly)..

This is the main bit of my routes.rb that makes the tutorials and
categories be displayed in the URL the way they are:


map.connect 'categories/:id/tutorials/:action', :controller =>
'categories'

map.connect ':controller/:action:id'
map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

map.resources :tutorials,
:controller => "categories",
:path_prefix => "/category/:category_id",
:name_prefix => "category_"

end

Please Help,

I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge,

-Joe
