Permalinks with Ruby on Rails (dynamic routes)

Question

I am currently developing a blogging system with Ruby on Rails and want the user to define his "permalinks" for static pages or blog posts, meaning:

the user should be able to set the page name, eg. "test-article" (that should be available via /posts/test-article) - how would I realize this in the rails applications and the routing file?

Answer 1

for user-friendly permalinks you can use gem 'has_permalink'. For more details http://haspermalink.org
