Rails - Dec 2007 - [REST] change :controller/:id/:action to :controller/:title/

Ok, so this is the very very first time i use Ruby on Rails.

I''m developing a simple resource listing application


My question in simple:
now to see a resource i would goto /resources/:id
i want this to change to /resources/:permalink, with permalink being a
field in my resources table.
How do i accomplish that?

Also, is there a way to clean up the last 4 routes?
I completely invented map.index because i didn''t know how to see my
resurces listing in /, instead of typing /resources.

(i am sorry for the mess made by my resources controller, but i really
needed to call it like this :D)

Here are my routes.


[code=]ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.resources :categories
  map.resources :resources

  map.namespace :admin do |admin|
    admin.resources :resources
    admin.resources :categories
  end

  map.resources :users
  map.resource  :session, :controller => ''sessions''

  map.signup ''/signup'', :controller =>
''users'', :action => ''new''
  map.login ''/login'', :controller =>
''sessions'', :action => ''new''
  map.logout ''/logout'', :controller =>
''sessions'', :action => ''destroy''
  map.index ''/'', :controller =>
''resources'', :action => ''index''

end[/code]
Thank You in advance!

Use map.with_options :controller => "sessions" do |page|
    page.login "/login", :action => "new"
    page.logout "/logout", :action => ''destroy''
end

If you are using Rails 2.0, you can use map.root . From the docs:

Use map.root as a shorthand to name a route for the root path "".

  # In routes.rb
  map.root :controller => ''blogs''

  # would recognize http://www.example.com/ as
  params = { :controller => ''blogs'', :action =>
''index'' }

  # and provide these named routes
  root_url   # => ''http://www.example.com/''
  root_path  # => ''''

Thank you so much!

I did find the screencast this afternoon, but didn''t know about 
map.root!

Thanks again!
