I''m looking for some thoughts (and +1''s!) on a patch (#713) that introduces two new Inflectors: Actionize and Parameterize. http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/713-new-inflectors-actionize-and-parameterize Actionize Transforms a string in titleize() form to a string suitable for a action name "Expense Report".actionize # => "expense_report" "My Totally Cool Action".actionize # => "my_totally_cool_action" @reports = [''Expense Report'', ''Employee Hours''] @reports.each do |report_name| link_to(report_name, "/reports/#{report_name.actionize}") end # => "<a href = ''/reports/expense_report''>Expense Report</a> <a href = ''/reports/employee_hours''>Employee Hours</a>" Parameterize Replaces special characters in a string so that it may be used as part of a ''pretty'' URL. ==== Examples class Person def to_param "#{self.id}-#{self.name.parameterize}" end end @person = Person.find(1) # => #<Person id: 1, name: "Donald E. Knuth"> <%= link_to(@person.name, person_path %> # => <a href="/person/1-Donald_E_Knuth">Login</a> Thanks! Matt Darby, M.S.
