Url rewrite

Rails
1

We currently have a poor-man’s CMS (content management system) where we
use method_missing() to redirect_to a stored page in a database. I
would like to re-write the url back to the original request. How?

Example,

  1. User goes to http://www.example.com/home/news

  2. However, :controller => ‘home’, :action => ‘index’ doesn’t exist so
    we get a method_missing which we trap in app/controller/application.rb.

  3. We then
    ContentPage.find_by_controller_and_action(params[:controller],
    params[:action]) and

  4. redirect_to :controller => ‘content_pages’, :action => ‘show’, :id
    => content_page.id

This works.

However, I would like to rewrite the url from:

http://www.example.com/content_pages/show/43

to the original request

http://www.example.com/home/news

Any advice or ideas?
