Get SEO friendly URLS with Rails without method_missing? -

Currently we are using method_missing to call SEO operative actions in our controllers instead of each conceivable value Instead of creating tasks for variables What we want, we do the URL in this way:

/ students / bosmith

and no / students / show / 342

what method to enter Is there a cleaner solution than doing?

Thank you!

You can define a route quite easily for that particular look.

  map.connect "/ students /: name" ,: Controller => : Students, action = & gt; : Show,: requirements => {: Name = & gt; / [A-Z] [A-Z] + /}  

Then you can find names using the name [[name:]] in your show action.
