I have a user. They have could have many products The typical link in rails would be www.somesite.com/controller/action/id what I want is it to look like www.somesite.com/user_name/product_name How can I do this using routes.rb Thank Mitch -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

you can use match "/:user_name/:product_name" => "products#show" but be sure to place this at the bottom of your routes file so it will match if not any other routes match. one big problem i''m seeing with this approach is if a user''s name is the same as one of your controllers. so you have to consider that.
