You can use I18n-JS as plugin and gem. Choose what's best for you!
script/plugin install git://github.com/fnando/has_permalink.git
or gem install permalink
Add the method call has_permalink
to your model. Your model should have a permalink
attribute.
class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
has_permalink :title
end
You can specify the permalink field:
class page < ActiveRecord::Base
has_permalink :title, :to => :title_permalink
end
If you don't want to use has_permalink
, you can call 'some text'.to_permalink
string method and
manage the permalink process by yourself.
Permalinks are not unique by default. has_permalink
overrides to_param
as following:
def to_param
"#{id}-#{permalink}"
end
You can define the to_param
format:
class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
has_permalink :title, :to_param => %w(id permalink page)
end
The above settings will generate something link 100-some-title-page
. By overriding to_param
method you don't have to change a thing on your app routes.
If you want to generate unique permalink, use the option :unique
:
class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
has_permalink :title, :unique => true, :to_param => :permalink
end
The permalink is generated using ActiveSupport::Multibyte::Chars
class; this means that characters will properly replaced from áéíó
to aeio
, for instance.
The permalink is created when before_validation
callback is evaluated. This plugin also tries
to generate a permalink when before_save
callback is evaluated and the instance has no permalink set.
