Question

I have

resources :articles

and in article.rb

def to_param
    "#{id}-#{name.downcase.gsub(/\s+/, "_")}"
end

So the URL will be like

http://www.example.com/articles/1-Name-of-the-first-article

I am now trying to find a simple solution to always substitute “article” in the URL with “encyclopedia”. So the path should be

http://www.example.com/encyclopedia/1-Name-of-the-first-article

Is there a simple solution?

Answer 1

Really simple.

routes.rb

resources :articles, :path => :encyclopedia
