Maybe something like this would work: in the user model: has_many :posts, :dependent => :destroy def to_param username end
in the route: map.resources :posts, :path_prefix => ":username" Then in the view: post_url(post, :username => "donaldduck") In the controller: user = User.find_by_username params[:username] @post = user.posts.find(params[:id]) On Dec 3, 11:32 am, Nicholas Young <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey there, > > I'm in the muck of a major rails project, and need a bit of advice.
