OK, so I have a homepage and want the user to be able to select a link that goes back to it with a varable set. Example here is the listings site lists all events regardless of price and I want users to be able to list events under £5. So I have a link
https://eventpuddle.com?price=cheap. This is fine but for SEO reasons I want to have the URL something like
https://eventpuddle.com/cheapevents. Obviesly I could create another view but there are all sorts of things I will ultimatly want ot do this for.
https://eventpuddle.com/jazz,
https://eventpuddle.com/pucn,
https://eventpuddle.com/art... i would end up with LOTS of views and have to do code changes for eatch (see below).
I came across something years ago (I think in PHP) where URLs got unpacked into varables in the background. So
https://eventpuddle.com/price/
cheapevents was mapped in the background and created a varable
price with a value
cheapevents.
This will also be usefull for listing events for a certain venue, whitch I have lots. Dont want to create a view for eatch venue as there are lots and I dont want to have to code stuff if I add venues, I simply add a row in the database for the new venue. The kind of URLs I would be looking for is
https://eventpuddle.com/venue/old-market-assembly or
https://eventpuddle.com/venue/canteen.
Wondering if there is a way of doing this in rails or another way of handeling the same type of thing.
