How to add article title to URL using link_to in Rails app? -

i trying follow answer question

how link_to in rails output seo friendly url?

but don't result. in rails 3 app have:

# routes.rb match '/articles/:id/:title' => 'articles#show' resources :articles  # articles/index.html.haml - @articles.each |article|   = link_to article.title, article, :title => article.title 

however, after restarting server, links don't have title: /articles/1, /articles/2

what wrong?

your link_to using route resources :articles. if want use custom route you've defined, name route, , use in link_to:

# routes.rb match '/articles/:id/:title' => 'articles#show', :as => :article_with_title  # articles/index.html.erb link_to article.title, article_with_title_path(article, :title => article.title) 

also, may want consider looking using friendly_id. you, more transparently.
