我不太了解Ruby或Rails，但在Perl中，这是我要做的:

my $title = "How do you change a title to be part of the url like Stackoverflow?";

my $url = lc $title;   # Change to lower case and copy to URL.
$url =~ s/^\s+//g;     # Remove leading spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+$//g;     # Remove trailing spaces.
$url =~ s/\s+/\-/g;    # Change one or more spaces to single hyphen.
$url =~ s/[^\w\-]//g;  # Remove any non-word characters.

print "$title\n$url\n";

我刚做了一个快速测试，似乎有用。希望这在Ruby中比较容易翻译。

为了更好地衡量，这里是WordPress中的PHP函数…我认为WordPress是使用花哨链接的最受欢迎的平台之一。

    function sanitize_title_with_dashes($title) {
            $title = strip_tags($title);
            // Preserve escaped octets.
            $title = preg_replace('|%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])|', '---$1---', $title);
            // Remove percent signs that are not part of an octet.
            $title = str_replace('%', '', $title);
            // Restore octets.
            $title = preg_replace('|---([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])---|', '%$1', $title);
            $title = remove_accents($title);
            if (seems_utf8($title)) {
                    if (function_exists('mb_strtolower')) {
                            $title = mb_strtolower($title, 'UTF-8');
                    }
                    $title = utf8_uri_encode($title, 200);
            }
            $title = strtolower($title);
            $title = preg_replace('/&.+?;/', '', $title); // kill entities
            $title = preg_replace('/[^%a-z0-9 _-]/', '', $title);
            $title = preg_replace('/\s+/', '-', $title);
            $title = preg_replace('|-+|', '-', $title);
            $title = trim($title, '-');
            return $title;
    }

这个函数以及一些支持函数可以在wp-includes/formatting.php中找到。

您需要设置一个自定义路由，将URL指向将处理它的控制器。因为您使用的是Ruby on Rails，这里介绍一下如何使用他们的路由引擎。

在Ruby中，你需要一个你已经知道的正则表达式，下面是要使用的正则表达式:

def permalink_for(str)
    str.gsub(/[^\w\/]|[!\(\)\.]+/, ' ').strip.downcase.gsub(/\ +/, '-')
end

我不熟悉Ruby on Rails，但以下是(未经测试的)PHP代码。如果您觉得有用的话，可以很快地将其转换为Ruby on Rails。

$sURL = "This is a title to convert to URL-format. It has 1 number in it!";
// To lower-case
$sURL = strtolower($sURL);

// Replace all non-word characters with spaces
$sURL = preg_replace("/\W+/", " ", $sURL);

// Remove trailing spaces (so we won't end with a separator)
$sURL = trim($sURL);

// Replace spaces with separators (hyphens)
$sURL = str_replace(" ", "-", $sURL);

echo $sURL;
// outputs: this-is-a-title-to-convert-to-url-format-it-has-1-number-in-it

我希望这能有所帮助。

有一个叫PermalinkFu的小Ruby on Rails插件可以做到这一点。escape方法将转换为适合URL的字符串。看一下代码;那个方法很简单。

为了删除非ascii字符，它使用iconv lib将'utf-8'转换为'ascii//ignore//translit'。然后空格变成破折号，所有东西都被缩小，等等。

重写Jeff的代码，使其更简洁

    public static string RemapInternationalCharToAscii(char c)
    {
        var s = c.ToString().ToLowerInvariant();

        var mappings = new Dictionary<string, string>
        {
            { "a", "àåáâäãåą" },
            { "c", "çćčĉ" },
            { "d", "đ" },
            { "e", "èéêëę" },
            { "g", "ğĝ" },
            { "h", "ĥ" },
            { "i", "ìíîïı" },
            { "j", "ĵ" },
            { "l", "ł" },
            { "n", "ñń" },
            { "o", "òóôõöøőð" },
            { "r", "ř" },
            { "s", "śşšŝ" },
            { "ss", "ß" },
            { "th", "Þ" },
            { "u", "ùúûüŭů" },
            { "y", "ýÿ" },
            { "z", "żźž" }
        };

        foreach(var mapping in mappings)
        {
            if (mapping.Value.Contains(s))
                return mapping.Key;
        }

        return string.Empty;
    }
