copied!<p>FriendlyID includes a Reserved module which prevents a list of provided words from being used as friendly slugs. You could add your static routes to the reserved words array which would prevent someone from overwriting your routes.</p> <p>From the FriendlyId RDocs</p> <pre><code>FriendlyId.defaults do |config| config.use :reserved # Reserve words for English and Spanish URLs config.reserved_words = %w(new edit nueva nuevo editar) end </code></pre> <p>If you still want to allow for a title that is reserved you can make a new method that FriendlyId would use for the slug. This piece from the RDocs explains that </p> <hr> <p><strong>Column or Method?</strong></p> <p>FriendlyId always uses a method as the basis of the slug text - not a column. It first glance, this may sound confusing, but remember that Active Record provides methods for each column in a model's associated table, and that's what FriendlyId uses.</p> <p>Here's an example of a class that uses a custom method to generate the slug:</p> <pre><code>class Person < ActiveRecord::Base friendly_id :name_and_location def name_and_location "#{name} from #{location}" end end bob = Person.create! :name => "Bob Smith", :location => "New York City" bob.friendly_id #=> "bob-smith-from-new-york-city" </code></pre> <hr> <p>You could create a method like <code>:title_with_id</code> or <code>:title_with_rand</code>. it's up to you and how you'd like the slugs to look.</p> <p>You would also want to make sure your <code>routes.rb</code> has your static routes listed prior to the routes for with the friendly id. The first route dispatcher matches is where the request will be processed.</p>
