Consider a small form:
User: [________] [Submit]
Then you want to go to a sensible ("pretty") URL like
/messages/user/febeling
Is there a rails approach to this? Or is it dumb to aspire?
The GET would obviously be cluttered with lots of ?, = and &,
while a POST is completely silent.

I do wonder, though, if it is possible to make Rails routes do that bit of rewriting. Probably not, since Routes doesn''t actually change the displayed URL. On the flipside, is the difference from /messages/user/febeling to /messages?user=febeling that important? -- Jakob L. Skjerning - http://mentalized.net

The redirect would give you a chance to punt to an error page if you needed, too. I guess the action would look something like this: def user_lookup begin user = User.find_by_name(@params[''name'']) redirect_to :controller=>''messages'', :action=>''user'', :id=>user.name rescue RecordNotFound redirect_to :controller=>''messages'', :action=>''error'' end end Untested, and you''ll probably want to do something with the route, but that looks about right to me. I''m sure someone eminently more qualified will comment shortly... -- Alex
Hi, TinyMce won''t work. The java error consol tells me that baseURL is not set. This must be a configuration problem, but how can I fix it? Thanks! _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
OK, I finally figured out what was wrong, so here we go for posterity: tiny_mce.js should not be declared in the "layout" file, but directly in the page where the textarea is used.
