Obfuscated URLS for hobo models

[mkar...@gmail.com]

I'm currently making a prototype app in hobo.
Part of the spec is that certain objects have
three access states, private, unlisted and public.

Unlisted objects should have a long, random url
to prevent accidental or systematic discovery.

Doing this in standard rails is fairly straightforward,
but I confess that I'm a bit stuck about how to
approach this with Hobo.

Any pointers will be most welcome.

I'm not sure how you would have done it in plain Rails, because I
would do it in roughly the same way: redefine to_param on your model
to return something that looks random

The only difference with Rails is that you may also want to define
"find_instance" on your controller that does the find given the param.
If you do that you can use the default hobo controller methods
unchanged.

Ah. It was the 'find_instance' that I needed.

Thank you.
