Answer 1

Ok, so I’ll assume you have a redirection model that has an ID (53843) and a redirection_path (google).com.

in your routes file, tell it to have :path=>” — otherwise it would expect /redirections/53843

resources :redirections, :path=>''

Then in your controller

class RedirectionsController < ApplicationController
  def show
    redirection = Redirection.find(params[:id])
    redirect_to redirection.redirection_path
  end
end
