Hi Delia,

I just added a plugin called acts_as_sluggable to the akelos trunk. We are using it in some projects and would like to share it. If you are using a recent akelos trunk version you can do the following to install the plugin in your application:

./script/plugin install acts_as_sluggable

Simple Usage example from the README:

class MyModel extends ActiveRecord
{
var $acts_as = array('sluggable'=>array('slug_source'=>'title','slug_target'=>'slug'));
}

if you have the following model:

$model = new MyModel();
$model->title = "Vacations in France";
$model->save();

the $model->slug will be generated as:

echo $model->slug;
----
vacations-in-france
----

$model2 = new MyModel();
$model2->title = "Vacations in France";
$model2->save();

will now have:

echo $model2->slug;
----------------------
vacations-in-france-1
---------------------


Be aware that the column "slug" must exist of course.

Hope that helps.

hi arnoschn,
i am using your plugin without any problem, except for titles with an "ñ". When an "ñ" is found, the slug is truncated... any idea?
