I am using a non-id parameter in one of my routes like so:
get 'users/:attribute' => 'users#special_action', :as => named_route
I like the named route thingy and I hoped I can just do:
named_route_url(@user)
To get a url, where the :attribute part gets replaced by user.attribute.
To my surprise, routing used what User.to_param provides.
While I can understand that this is a convention, I would like to know if there is a way to say I want to specificaly use attribute x in my route.
(Example of scenatio, where that might be of benefit is if I want to rename the attribute, but keep the route, I can just rename it in the route.)
