Question

I want the url of a user post to be like this:

example.com/users/username/post-name

How should I set this up?

Currently, the post model contains:

def to_param
    name.parameterize
end 

(to hyphenate the post name accordingly)

routes.rb contains:

  map.resources :users
  map.resources :posts

Preferably, I would like to say post_path(post) and this would generate the appropriate path for me by finding the post.user automatically.

What do I need to do to make this happen?

Also added

map.resources :users do |user|
    user.resources :posts
end

Answer 1

One way more:

map.resources :users do |user|
  user.connect ':name/:action', :controller => 'posts', :defaults => {:action => 'show'}
end 

Available routes:
example.com/users/username/post-name
example.com/users/username/post-name/edit (any action)
