Agreed, If you want custom slugs use something like https://github.com/norman/friendly_id and then you can just forego the id in the url all together. On Monday, July 9, 2012 at 1:18 AM, Ryan Bigg wrote: Very limited use-case. Can't see the point of it. -1 On Monday, 9 July 2012 at

Moreover, in order to really optimize your SEO, you shouldn't rely only on the ID, but you should also check the slug. Otherwise, it generates duplicate content as you can have hundreds of different urls with the same content. Damien MATHIEU | Ingénieur logiciel 84, rue Chevreul | 69 007 Lyon
