Hi all, I want to make a site for restaurants. Give them blogs, forum and albums. Since I provide www.restaurantsite.be I would like to put the name of the restaurant between eg. www.restaurantsite.be/nameofrest/ . Where nameofrest changes according to the name of the restaurant. This results in urls like: www.restaurantsite.be/nameofrest/post/create/1, www.restaurantsite.be/nameofrest/album/ I have a hard time figuring out how to put the ''nameofrest'' in the url. I probably have to use routes?

Yes, routes are the way to do that in Rails.
If you plan to do it yourself, you should read the fine book :
http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html
If you don't, there is a Belgian mailing list where you can find some
help(manpower, not technical questions) :
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-belgium
> results in urls like: www.restaurantsite.be/nameofrest/post/create/1,
A few obvious problems: you will
- end up with long and ugly urls
- have to "uniformize special characters ("l'Orée du Bois",
"'t
Cafeetje", etc...)
- have to separate homonyms => use the zip code, before the name?

It''s easy to install and even easier to use, especially if you''re as new to Rails as you seem to be, Stijn (as you can see, there are quite a few Belgian Rails users around :-)) Best regards Peter De Berdt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
