Friendly URLs in Rails

Friendly URLs

By default, Rails applications build URLs based on the primary key -- the id column from the database. Imagine we have a Person model and associated controller. We have a person record for Bob Martin that has id number 6. The URL for his show page would be:

/people/6

But, for aesthetic or SEO purposes, we want Bob's name in the URL. The last segment, the 6 here, is called the "slug". Let's look at a few ways to implement better slugs.

Rails: Synchronizing your development database with your production database using Rake tasks

Rails: Synchronizing your development database with your production database using Rake tasks

July 30, 2012

If you run an active website with lots of new content every day, it's often helpful to keep your local database up-to-date with your production database, so when you're working on the application locally you're working with fresh content.

Here are a couple rake tasks that you can copy-and-paste into your local Rails application which will make this syncing process a one-step process.

Ubuntu Precise Rails, Nginx, Unicorn and Capistrano ('2.15.5') Server Setup

Ubuntu Precise Rails, Nginx, Unicorn and Capistrano ('2.15.5') Server Setup

I originally tried to use the ~> 3.0 version of Capistrano, but fell back to the 2.15.5 version. There were a lot of changes in the new version that I did not feel like learning right at the moment...

1. Setup deploy user

First we will create a new user for deployment:

$ ssh into your server
