Hey, This is more of a general question or Rails question than Rails Spinoffs. Next time, consider posting to RubyOnRails-Talk instead.
Gcompany a écrit : > how do we convert long url to short url in a rails app like > snipurl.com or dwarfurl.com 1) Devise a short ID generation algorithm (can be anything, really) 2) Store a mapping from the short, generated ID to the long URL you want in a DB table somewhere. 3) Provide a controller that takes the short ID as a parameter, reads the DB table and issues a redirect to the long URL. Now, unless you're on a GET access with plenty of arguments inline, Rails app URLs are usually darn short. -- Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
