8 digit random permalink and routing

Hi guys,

I'm building an app where people can save a record and come back to access it later, to avoid managing users and to keep it simple i wanted to make the permalink to the records be a random 8 digit code that they would need to bookmark.

using this base32 gem (https://github.com/levinalex/base32) I was able to have the system generate a random code on before_create then for my routes I changed my show link to use the bas32 field and also made some changes to my record_controller.rb file

recor_controller.rb

• removed :show from the before_action
• added a record.find_by_random_id(params[:random_id])

routes

get "/record/:random_id" => 'records#show', :as => "show_post"

Problem i'm having now is my edit and destroy links do not work. I think I need to make similar changes to the routes and links but not sure what to do I tried a lot of different things but so far what i'm getting is that my show link goes to record/8digitcode but edit link goes to records/8digitcode (record plural) and fails.
