Hi all,
I have an application which has a number of users, each with their own usernames. I am able to setup URLrouting where I can do something like
and that to call a chosen controller, action and passing charlie63 as the id. So that's fine.
This is probably a stupid question, but to prevent problems, do I simply have to have a list of unavailable usernames and not allow people to create accounts with those as usernames? In other words, if I have a controller named, checkout, I need to not allow anyone to create a user name checkout, because when she tried to access her account through her URL 应用宝官网-全网最新最热手机应用游戏下载 it will actually go to controller: checkout and action: index?
If this is so, do I just need to manually maintain a list of invalid user names and check against those? Or can I call something in Rails to help me to look for existing controllers? Although, I guess I have to be careful because someone may create an account, use that for a while, and later on I may come along and create a controller with the same username.
Any help in getting something like this going, pointers, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Diego
