ruby - Rails URL question -

thank you!

you should define route in routes.rb file:

match "/:user" => "users#show" 

and you'll username given in params[:user]. need know kind of route override other routes defined, because match string, should @ least define constraints on username.

for example if usernames matches regexp define constraint

match "/:user" => "users#show", :constraints => { :user => /some-regexp/ } 

and don't forget set route last 1 in routes file, otherwise clash sure other routes.
