Ruby on Rails

So, I can't just pass it my permalink value (which is worked out using
to_param)? I have to create a whole method using regex that returns
something that is exactly the same?

Please Help,

I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could just give a reply like "If
I had a blog with the same kind of setup, what I could do is write a
redirect like this, as you can get the permalink value by doing this."

Thanks In Advance,

Joe
