Rails 3 Routing

Question

I have a community_users model that I route in the following way:

resources :communities do
  resources :users
end

This creates the route /communities/:id/users/.

I'd like to configure this route so that only the name of the community with the corresponding :id is shown.

In other words, if a community has an id of '1' and the name 'rails-lovers' - the route would read:

/rails-lovers

and not:

/communities/1/users/

Answer 1

You might want to check out the gem friendly_id

That will give you the clean URLs you are looking for.
