I'm a Rails newbie, so please bear with me. I want to use the URL as the ID for a RESTful resource, but using the path after the controller. The remaining portion of the URL would be the ID, rather than an integer.
So rather than just: http://example.org/widgets/1 I want to use: http://example.org/widgets/foo http://example.org/widgets/foo/bar http://example.org/widgets/foo/bar/baz where foo, foo/bar and foo/bar/baz are all Widgets, not nested resources. In the controller I'd like to do something like @widget = Widget.find(params[:path]) where path is a string column defined as a primary key (or unique) containing strings like 'foo', 'foo/bar' and 'foo/bar/baz' Is this possible? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
