No edit button so I have to post again, that first example should end with ";; (make-profile-url "John Smith") => "/John-Smith"
And to reiterate you decide what your url will look like in your template: <a href="http://myapp.com/JohnSmith";>View John Smith's Profile</a> or <a href="http://myapp.com/John-Smith";>View John Smith's Profile</a> or <a href="http://myapp.com/john-smith";>View John Smith's Profile</a> Then compojure + your route handler respond to the browser requesting the link: ;; obviously this is ALL just psedo code of the important elements to give you an idea (GET "/:username" [username] (view-profile-page username)) ;; this route definition will handle any of the above links ;; assume you chose the last link type, in stack-overflow style. this means username from the route is "john-smith" (defn view-profile-page [username] (let [user (db/get-user-by-username username)] (render-template user))) (defn get-user-by-username [username] (let [no-dash (clojure.string/replace username #"-" " ") ;; munge username to match what is in DB capitalized (capitalize-words no-dash)] (select-user-by-name capitalized))) So as you can see whatever link or browser request is called, compojure grabs that url param and passes it in. You then modify that param to fit what you expect and look it up in your DB. You were essentially working backwards I think.
