I have a model called Project and I ve defined the "to_param" method as this:
def to_param
permalink
end
I am using this permalink plugin github.com/febuiles/make_permalink so when I call p.permalink it will generate id-name.
The problem is that when I TYPE /projects/1 in my web-browser the URL doesn t change to /projects/1-name. How can I achieve that?
Look that when I go to http://railscasts.com/episodes/63 the URL changes to /63-name
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
It looks like Ryan is using a conditional redirect to the proper episode_url. The Railscasts application source code is on GitHub, so you can see how he does it.
Similarly as Drew suggests, this should work fine in your case.
redirect_to @project, :status => 301 if params[:id] != @project.to_param?
They are most likely using the friendly_id gem or something similar:
http://github.com/norman/friendly_id/
The important part is:
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
redirect_to @post, :status => 301 if @post.has_better_id?
