I'm using friendly_id
5.0.0.rc1, and also active_admin
.
It would appear everything is working perfectly as expected, except for the fact that updating a record's slug
attribute/column in active_admin does not do anything (it keeps it the same)
I find the same behavior just using console:
p = Post.first
p.slug
#=> 'test'
p.slug = 'another-test'
p.save
#=> true
p.slug
#=> 'test
My config:
FriendlyId.defaults do |config|
config.use :reserved
config.reserved_words = %w(admin new edit index session users register)
config.use :finders
config.use :slugged
config.slug_column = 'slug'
config.sequence_separator = '-'
config.use Module.new {
def should_generate_new_friendly_id?
slug.blank? || slug_changed?
end
}
end
My model:
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
default_scope { order('created_at DESC') }
validates :title, presence: true
validates :body, presence: true
validates :views, presence: true, numericality: { only_integer: true }
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title, use: [:slugged, :history]
end
my controller:
class PostsController < ApplicationController
def index
@posts = Post.all.page(params[:page]).per(10)
end
def show
@post = Post.find_by_slug!(params[:id])
if request.path != post_path(@post)
redirect_to @post, :status => :moved_permanently and return
else
@post.increment :views if @post
end
end
end
Thanks!
Usually when using friendly id, you never update the slug manually. Instead:
def should_generate_new_friendly_id?
slug.blank? || title_changed?
end
And then every time you change the title, it will automatically update the slug.
