Rails 4 Friendly Id Slug Not Updating

Question

I\'m using the following:

gem \'friendly_id\', github: \'FriendlyId/friendly_id\', branch: \'master\'

I am creating an Article section on my Ra

Answer 1

I have this issues and just want to point out what I've noticed.

if you only do as in docs

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 extend FriendlyId
 friendly_id :title, use: :slugged
end

and then run Post.find_each(&:save) - slug is gonna get updated...

However in my case, I also have these in my model

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 extend FriendlyId
 friendly_id :title, use: :slugged

 def normalize_friendly_id(text)
   text.to_slug.normalize(transliterations: :russian).to_s
 end

 def should_generate_new_friendly_id?
   title_changed?
 end
end

with the code above it won't do anything when you run Post.find_each(&:save) I assume since your title doesn't change. (first method handles russian language)

so when working with the first model all worked great, but then when I copied ready code to next model I wanted to slugify, I run into some issues. Hope it helps someone.
