norman / friendly_id Goto Github PK

The old style of passing a block was working great for this, but I can't seem to get the new custom slug / method to work:

class Widget
  has_friendly_id :custom_slug, :use_slug => true, :scope => :group

  def custom_slug
    "n#{some_attr}"
  end
end

What's strange is that when I create a new instance, it works and gives me the correct value ("n1") but when the record is reloaded, it reverts to "1".

Hi, all.
Maybe it will be better, if there will be possibility, to generate permalinks name like
id-permalink? For example http://sitename/users/1234-user. It will helps with non-unique slug names and with word reservations (nobody can use new/create/destroy/update - all REST words as ids).

Does this plugin work with Rails 3?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it has certainly thrown me for a loop. I'm using this code in an ActionMailer template:

<%= post_url( @post, :host => HOST ) %>

From the Post class:

class Prayer < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_friendly_id :title, :use_slug => true

If the title is 'My Post', the above renders the correct url everywhere in the app except for Mailers:

post_url( @post, :host => HOST ) # => http://myapp.com/posts/my-title
@post.to_param # => my-title

In mailer templates, I get this:

post_url( @post, :host => HOST ) # => http://myapp.com/posts/3
@post.to_param # => 3

Anything I need to do to make friendly_id work in a mailer template? Am I missing something?

DISCLAIMER: I'm also having the same problem as issue #14, and they could be related

However, when I do: rake friendly_id:redo_slugs MODEL=User all of the cached_slug columns come up with the wrong sequence (the sequence is one greater than it should be). I think this is happening because in the set_slug_cache method you're calling slug.to_friendly_id (line 127) which is auto-incrementing the sequence, because the slug has already been created.

Let me know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing -- I'll work on a patch and submit it if I have time!

I can't load CSS and JS files on http://friendly-id.rubyforge.org/ (403 - Forbidden).

I'm running into instances where some of our backlinks are getting chopped off or mangled due to user or program error, thus generating 404s. It would be great to have a feature to turn on partial slug finding.

Example One:

• http://example.com/this-is-a-pretty-unique-slug gets linked as http://example.com/this-is-a-pretty-unique- and ends up throwing a 404. Would be great to run a LIKE query on the first X characters of the passed in :id to see if it finds a unique match.

Example Two:

• http://example.com/this-is-another-example-of-a-slug-being-mishandled gets linked as http://example.com/this-is-another-example-of-a--being-mishandled and ends up throwing a 404. Notice however that this time a word has been taken out thus creating the double dash which Friendly ID uses internally for versioning. In this case it shouldn't look for a number after the --

I hope to set some time aside soon to create a patch for this, but perhaps it's an easy add for you.

Thanks again for all the great work on Friendly ID.

In either db/seed.rb or via the bootstrap plugin, if I do Foo.make and Foo has_friendly_id, I get this error.

My seed.rb consists solely of

Foo.new

I've tried require 'friendly_id' and other gimmicks, but I can't figure this one out. Thoughts?

Imagine code like this:

  Post.find(@post)

This fails with a stack like:

/gentoo/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.4/lib/active_record/attribute_methods.rb:236:in `method_missing'
./test/../lib/friendly_id/slug.rb:44:in `parse'
./test/../lib/friendly_id/sluggable_class_methods.rb:16:in `find_one'

You might ask 'why' you'd do this, and I'd agree it's odd, but it does work without friendly_id. It is worth noting that Post.destroy(@post) uses these finder methods under the hood as well, and this is how I discovered it was a problem.

Hi Norman, I'm having trouble listing objects by their names after I implement friendly_id. The default is that objects get listed by slug_id, but there is a name column in the slug table, and I'd like to order my objects by those names. Does friendly_id support this? Thanks for the great work on this!

In Rails 3 gems are loaded before Active Record, Action View, and the other frameworks so in order to not get this (or a similar) error:

Hi,

Is it normal that when you're not using the :use_slug => true option that you'll end up getting a %20 for every space in the attribute's value? When using the :use_slug => true option, this will be converted into "dashes". Since the attribute that I'm adding to the has_friendly_id method will always be unique I don't believe I need to use a slug, but it'd be nice to still get the "pretty url" with dashes instead of %20's.

Is this a bug? Or is there a particular reason you let it be a %20 rather than converting it to a dash?

Thanks!
Michael

While calling rake friendly_id:redo_slugs MODEL=Article ive got the message

rake aborted!
undefined method `friendly_id_options' for #Class:0x1a747ec

Any idea why this is happening? Ive tried to solve it but without success.

I'm guessing this must have something to do with a conflicting plugin or something, but I'm getting a 'stack level too deep' error on a simple Model.find(id) call. Here's the short trace. Happy to provide a longer trace if you'd like it:

Thanks!

I noticed that in the rdocs it says that spaces should be replaced with dashes "-" and not %20, which is what is the current behavoir.

How can I configure friendly_id to use something other than %20 for a space, such as using the "-" which I believe is better for seo purposes

The 2.3.0 release breaks resolving of old slugs when using a cache key. This problem also exists in the 2.3.1 release. First of all: thank you for using the cached_slug value in the standard find, it gives a nice performance improvement. On the downside: the change breaks looking up of old slugs from the table.

When using a model that has has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true and a cached_slug column, I presume that old values are still resolved.

Example:

>> m = Model.find('lorem-ipsum')
=> #<Model id: 903, name: "Lorem ipsum", cached_slug: 'lorem-ipsum'>
>> m.name = "dolor sit amet"
=> "dolor sit amet"
>> m.save
=> true
>> m.cached_slug
=> "dolor-sit-amet"

>> m = Model.find('lorem-ipsum')
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound: ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
>> m = Model.find('dolor-sit-amet')
=> #<Model id: 903, name: "dolor sit amet", cached_slug: "dolor-sit-amet">
>> m.slugs
=> [#<Slug id: 1365, name: "dolor-sit-amet", sluggable_id: 903, sequence: 1, sluggable_type: "Model", scope: nil, created_at: "2010-02-11 07:18:24">, #<Slug id: 144, name: "lorem-ipsum", sluggable_id: 903, sequence: 1, sluggable_type: "Model", scope: nil, created_at: "2009-12-09 08:36:15">]

There are Slug records for both slugs, but the table is never used for finding because there is a cached_slug column on that specific model.

Is it possible to do a (optional) second find query in the model when a search using the cached_slug throws a ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception?

hi, does anyone use friendly_id with i18n (http://github.com/svenfuchs/rails-i18n) and globalize2 (http://github.com/joshmh/globalize2)?

I'd want multiple url that points to the same resource:

http://mysite.com/it/pages/azienda
http://mysite.com/en/pages/company

maybe I have to translate the slug?
or use the scope?
or add a language attribute to the slug?

bye

Devis_

I have nested resources in an application. For example, groups and widgets, with slugs via friendly_id for each. The friendly_id declaration for widget looks like:

has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :scope => :group

When I do Widget.find('widget-slug', :scope => 'group-slug') it works great and I get what I expect.

However, if the group name value changes and the slug gets updated, doing Widget.find('widget-slug', :scope => 'updated-slug') no longer manages to find the record.

If I take a look at Group.find(group_id).slugs, both the old slug and the new slug are present in the array. However, if I look at Widget.find(widget_id).slugs, I see only the older slug combo. It appears as if altering the parent never updates any children that might be relying on that parent scope.

Am I missing some extra step I need to take in order to make sure that dependent slugs are regenerated?

Thanks!

there is no sequence in friendly_id which is saved to cached_slug column.
problem in set_slug method, you aren't set sequence for new slug before saving it to cached_slug column.

Hello,

Hello, I get this error while trying to install the gem "sudo gem install friendly_id" : "Could not find main page README.txt"

I just noticed that the post_install_message for the gem isn't quite accurate. It says I should run

./script generate friendly_id --skip-migration

if I'm upgrading friendly_id. It should probably be

./script/generate friendly_id --skip-migration

I was running the generator on a project I had cloned from git... and because git doesn't keep around empty directories, lib/tasks didn't exist. The generator failed because it was trying to copy friendly_id.rake into a directory that didn't exist yet.

To address this, the generator just needs to do m.directory "lib/tasks" before putting a file in there.

Is this just me or does the latest gem release 2.3.0 break the option :strip_diacritics => true
It seems like it's now the default option but we have a lot of sites using that syntax so it would be good to know whether it's officially unsupported or is instead just a bug in 2.3.0

Running Rails 2.3.5 on OSX + UNIX both break.

I've my model setup with cached_slug column, but this column isn't used when I find the record by slug:

User.find(1)
User Load (0.1ms) SELECT * FROM users WHERE (users.id = 1)
=> #<User id: 1, name: "Ruben", created_at: "2010-01-19 21:45:40", updated_at: "2010-01-20 15:43:21", cached_slug: "ruben">

User.find('ruben')
User Load (0.1ms) SELECT users.* FROM users INNER JOIN slugs ON slugs.sluggable_id = users.id AND slugs.sluggable_type = 'User' WHERE (slugs.scope IS NULL AND slugs.sequence = '1' AND slugs.name = 'ruben') LIMIT 1
=> #<User id: 1, name: "Ruben", created_at: "2010-01-19 21:45:40", updated_at: "2010-01-20 15:43:21", cached_slug: "ruben">

Hi,

friendly_id automatically makes a call to attr_protected on the cache column. This is a good thing except when the model uses attr_accessible. In that case, Rails blows up: "Declare either attr_protected or attr_accessible for YourModel, but not both."

Maybe friendly_id should let the developer disable this :
has_friendly_id :title, :protected => false

When I launch rake friendly_id:make_slugs MODEL=MyModel :

• terminal shows "model(n) friendly_id set to "slug-for-modeln"" for each line in the DB
• but it records "slug-for-modeln" as sequence 1 AND "slug-for-modeln--2" as sequence 2

I also tried to generate the slugs with send(:set_slug) in the index controller and I get the same result.

This happens whether there is a cached_slug column or not.
When I create a new record, the slug is generated once only.

I'm using the latest friendly_id (2.3.0) on Rails 2.3.5. I have an Order model that has a "number" column. The number is populated immediately after creation because the value depends upon knowing the ID of the order. I want to use friendly_id on this column directly (no slug column) but my order creation dies with the following errors:

["Number can't be blank", "Number is too long (maximum is 255 characters)"]

Am I able to deactivate or conditionally skip these validations?

This is such a small fix, so pasting it here:

Raises error:

The error occurred while evaluating nil.unpack

Fixed version:

    def strip_diacritics(string)
      ActiveSupport::Multibyte.proxy_class.new(string).normalize(:kd).unpack('U*').inject([]) { |a, u| 
        if ASCII_APPROXIMATIONS[u]
          a += ASCII_APPROXIMATIONS[u].unpack('U*')
        elsif (u < 0x300 || u > 0x036F)
          a << u
        end
        a
      }.pack('U*')
    rescue
      nil
    end

..which will instead lead to the somewhat nicer exception:

FriendlyId::SlugGenerationError (The slug text is blank.)

...which I believe one should be able to optinalyl skip by using this excellent addition (gets my vote, becuase these are just unnecessary errors IRL):

http://github.com/blythedunham/friendly_id/commit/21ae5137d1a45b4c198669e0b1c0f320b062fba8

"For sluggable models, if such a word is used, it will be treated the same as if that slug was already taken (numeric extension will be appended). Defaults to ["new", "index"]."
But when I try to create object with name 'new' I got an exception "The slug text is a reserved value" ??

A bunch of my tests broke after upgrading to 2.2.6 from 2.1.1.

model:

class Category < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :strip_diacritics => true
  #...
end

route:

map.namespace :admin do |admin|
  admin.resources :categories
end

console:

app.admin_category_path Category.find("my-category")
"/admin/categories/my-category"

looks good. But then, in a test:

Test fails:

assert_redirected_to  admin_category_path(cat)

fails with error:

Expected response to be a redirect to http://test.host/admin/categories/1109641034 but was a redirect to http://test.host/admin/categories/my-category

Simpler test:

assert_equal cat.friendly_id, cat.to_param

fails with

<"my-category"> expected but was <"1109641034">.

When I turn on cache-money I immediately get ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound on records I'm using friendly_id with. When requesting the same records using their int id, there are no problems.

Anyone else successfully using cache-money and friendly_id together?

rails (v2.3.4), acts_as_list (0.1.2), friendly_id (2.2.6, 2.2.7)

slugs are not deleted from the slugs table when models use both has_friendly_id and acts_as_list if they're used in that order in the model.

using acts_as_list before has_friendly_id in the model seems to work ok.

My app includes friendly_id. It runs just fine -- including all migrations -- on my Mac, where sqlite is my database but I never write or see SQL code or errors.

The first model to load in my migrations is the project model, which is also the first to get a friendly_id. Unless I comment out has_friendly_id in /models/project.rb, I get the following when I run heroku rake db:migrate --trace:

Hello Norman,
we're having some problem utilizing friendly_id.

Let me explain our use case - we want to use friendly_id, but without the versioning features. Actually, we want to create a slug for a record only once, and be able to prevent it changing, even if the base for the slug (the title) changes.

So something in the lines of:

content = Content.create :title => 'Some title'
content.slug # => 'some-title'

content.title = 'New title'
content.save
content.slug # => 'some-title'

Is there a way we can do this with the current version of friendly_id, or do we need to modify it?

I'm aware that we can access the first slug with
content.slugs.last

But to_param doesn't work as expected, and I'm under the impression that slug caching (which we need to use because of the reduced performance hit) would fall apart.

Thanks in advance.

If a different table name is defined using "self.table_name = tablename_with_namespace" the latest version of friendly_id wont honor it ending up with

"Mysql::Error: Table 'project_development.tablename' doesn't exist"

Using 2.1.1 everything works fine.

Hi,

with the last version of friendly_id (2.2.4), it seems that the automagic detection of the cached_slug column is broken. When I try to rebuild slugs on a model News with a cached_slug column and has_friendly_id :title, I obtain this message:

Class 'News' doesn't use slugs

Hi,
could you tell me plz - what is the best way to restrict access to slug creation - for example - only admins can create new slugs, but others can use it?

Sorry for another issue...

When you have a scoped slug, and the name of the scope changes, the slugs are not updated. i.e. I have users and posts, and there's the option :scope => :user. When I change the friendly_id of the user (which is name), the scope of the posts is not updated, and therefore they cannot be found by the find_one method (which is looking for an item with the new scope)

Let me know if you need a more concrete example. Thanks for the help with this awesome gem!

I must say this is an awesome slug based URL plugin. I could not find anything else comparable to this.

However, I'm currently using datamapper for my project. And I would love it if this would also work with datamapper too.

Thank you!

Not sure if this one is a bug or a just me doing it wrong,
I'm trying to define a scope using a custom method, I didn't find any examples in the doc, so I just tried like that :

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_friendly_id :name, :use_slug => true, :scope => :toto

  def toto
    "toto"
  end 
end 

I thought this will return urls like /users/toto/name-of-the-user

But I always have the url : /users/name-of-the-user
and the error : ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound; expected scope but got none

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thanks,
Mike
I am missing something ?

Version 2.3.5 is currently unable to resolve an active support dependency for me.

Any ideas? Thanks.

I was developing with sqlite3 and everything worked find, but now I tried my first deployment to mysql and I get the following error message:

Mysql::Error: Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes: CREATE UNIQUE INDEX `index_slugs_on_n_s_s_and_s` ON `slugs` (`name`, `sluggable_type`, `sequence`, `scope`)

Hi, i've tested your plugin with slugs in Russian and can confirm, that it works fine.

I have no idea here, set it up as you do in the docs (got rid of :use_slug => true) with no effect to the error.

gist describing it all: https://gist.github.com/379c3b24a7521e148c29

For some reason this two gems not working together

I noticed the deprecation message contained the wrong method name to override, friendly_id_normalizer, when it should be normalize_friendly_id.

Pushed the fix to the branch http://github.com/kamal/friendly_id/tree/doc-fix
