Hey guys

You know how by default the scaffold show view takes you to for ex- www.blah.com/blahs/16?

How would i replace that 16 with something else?... most preferably the title field or something

What do i need to change in the routes? Thanks

David, please take a look at the to_param method which you can redefine to

display something other than the id field.

Good luck,

David, here’s an excellent blog post by Obie Fernandez which goes into further

detail about using to to_param method:
