i understand problem can solved using urls like

• /page/shipping
• /catalog/smartphones/android

but customer not want see insertion of "/page" or "/catalog" in url.

please tell me direction solving problem. sorry bad english.

you'll have write "catch-all" rule:

on routes.rb:

get '*my_precioussss' => 'sauron#one_action_to_rule_them_all' 

your precious controller:

class sauroncontroller < applicationcontroller   def one_action_to_rule_them_all     @element = find_by_slug(params[:my_precioussss])     render @element.kind # product, category, etc   end end 

then write 1 view each "kind" of element: product.html.erb, category.html.erb, etc.

make sure write find_by_slug implementation.

you can change one_action_to_rule_them_all pikachu_i_choose_you , sauroncontroller pokemoncontroller, work too.
