Plugin details

The UrlKey module creates an unchanging permalink identifier for a model object.

1. URL keys are guaranteed to be unique by appending of a count.
2. URL keys are only generated on create, so they never change

Documentation

Install the plugin: 
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/slantwise/url_key/trunk

In your linkable models, include the following: 

class Thingy < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_url_key :title
end



This assumes you have a column called +url_key+ defined in your model. If your field is named differently, you can specify it like this: 

class Thingy < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_url_key :title, :permalink
end



When a record is created, a unique url_key based on the :title column will automatically be created.
