Hi Thanks, it's very helpful, I'll play with the "to_param" for a while and see what looks best.
Actually I'm still in Hobo 0.8.8 in this project (it's in critical stage so i'm not upgrading it as for now). in two weeks, I'll be done with it's first release and i'll try to move to the 1.0RC. Thanks, again.
