ruby on rails - :id in URLs -


i'm still new ror, pardon simplicity of question...

so http://www.example.com/controller/:id displays record in table, :id being number (1,2,3 etc.).

is there way can have :id in url value of field in displayed record? such can have http://www.example.com/controller/record_field ?? want have human-friendly reference specific records in table...i'm sure must possible. change in routes.rb?

thanks help!

the cleanest way add new find method in model (or use find_by_fieldname rails gives in control). you'll have controller use method instead of regular find(params[:id]) pull model record.

check out ryan b's screencast on here. it's pretty easy, , he's teacher, shouldn't have problems.
