copied!<p>FriendlyID is a great gem.</p> <p>It shouldn't be hard to implement user defined page URL. Create table <code>pages</code> with <code>user_id</code> and <code>link</code></p> <pre><code>class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :pages class Page < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :user has_friendly_id :link # link is name of the column whose value will be replaced by slugged value </code></pre> <p>On the <code>page#new</code> you add an input for the <code>link</code> attribute. </p> <p>Alternatively, you could set friendly_id on title or something else with :use_slug => true option. This way FriendlyID will take the title and modify it so it doesn't have and restricted characters. It will use it's own table to store slugs. Use <code>cached_slug</code> to increase performanse.</p> <p>Updated</p> <p>To give users a choice whether they wan't to set a custom link, you could do this:</p> <ol> <li>Set friendly_id on the <code>link</code> field without slugs..</li> <li>Make a virtual attribute <code>permalink</code> so you could show it in your forms.</li> <li>In the before_filter, check whether the <code>permalink</code> is set.</li> <li>If it is, write it to the <code>link</code> field.</li> <li>If it's not, write title to the <code>link</code> field.</li> </ol> <p>FriendlyID uses <code>babosa</code> gem to generate slugs. If you decide to use it as well, this is how your filter could look like:</p> <pre><code>protected def generate_link #you might need to use .nil? instead self.link = self.permalink.empty? ? make_slug(self.title) : make_slug(self.permalink) end def make_slug(value) value.to_slug.normalize.to_s #you could as well use ph6py's way end </code></pre>
