Instead of blah/16 can i have the title there?

Rails

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,
