Hi, How about this? class Product < AR::Base def to_param "#{self.id} #{self.name_or_other_string}" end end This way, you don't need to replace your controller code to cater for this, you still get to search on the index id field, and you don't run into duplicate values where 'name_or_ot

Re: [rails-oceania] search engine friendly urls?

I'm a bit biased having written it, but I suggest checking out 'slugged' - http://github.com/Sutto/slugged. It's designed for rails 3 and higher out of the box (so it takes advantage of Arel where possible) and it supports a lot of the features I loved from friendly_id (e.g. slug history) whils

Not sure how it works on Rails 3, but I've been using the stringex gem for that for a while now. It has some cool features such as: rock & roll".to_url => "rock-and-roll" Check it out at http://github.com/rsl/stringex On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 8:38 AM, Bodaniel Jeanes wrote: > Matt, > > This

Re: [rails-oceania] search engine friendly urls?

Matt, This has always been easy in rails. All you have to do is define the `to_param` method on your model. E.g. class Product < AR::Base def to_param "perhaps-product-name-or-other-string" end end Usually you wouldn't arbitrarily return a string though. I usually have a column called "
