Hi Emmek, I never found anything really convincing to handle that, but facing the same problem I found some workaround.
So first to get a slug, I use the plugin "ActsAsUrlParam" http://github.com/caring/acts_as_url_param I use it on a page "model" that uses a custom acts_as_tree (with dotted ids, pretty convenient to boost performances) http://github.com/xavier/acts-as-tree-with-dotted-ids Then I created special routes (yeah, to use with caution, I wanted to avoid the "/pages/" prefix ) <code> map.resources :pages map.page_first_level '/:slug.:format', :controller=>:pages,:action=>:show map.page_second_level '/:parent_slug/:slug.:format', :controller=>:pages,:action=>:show map.page_third_level '/:ancestor_slug/:parent_slug/:slug.:format', :controller=>:pages,:action=>:show </code> finally in my page helper <code> module PagesHelper def smart_page_path(page,format=nil) case page.depth when 0 page_first_level_path(page.slug,:format=>format) when 1 page_second_level_path(page.parent.slug,page.slug,:format=>format) when 2 page_third_level_path(page.parent.parent.slug, page.parent.slug,page.slug,:format=>format) else page_path(page) end end end </code> it uses the page depth to generate my nice formatted URL as result, using smart_page_path(@page) -Home -> /home.html -About -> /about.html ---History -> /about/history.html ---Team -> /about/team.html -Projects -> /projects.html ---Global -> /projects/global.html -----Ecology -> /projects/global/ecology.html -----Human rights -> /projects/global/human-rights.html ---Local -> /projects/local.html -Contact -> /contact.html BUT!! - the extra params are just meant for SEO, you can use any routes, only the last slug will be used (/my-dummy-param/about.html) - maybe it's not that good to use routes that starts from the root.... I always use an "admin" namespace fro my admin sections, so I never have much at the root anyway. If someone has a better idea I'll be delighted to hear it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
