Rails specifies conventions while creating models, controllers, migrations ( database tables ).

Conventions for creating database tables
1. Table name should be plural
2. id field should be primary_key for table.
3. foreign_key should be like _id i.e. post_id, site_id

Conventions for creating models & Controllers
1. Model name should be singular
2. controller name should be plural.
Although rails has standard defined, In some cases it becomes quite necessary to map irregular

1. Table mapping
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base # Here comments is name of database table set_table_name :comments end
2. Set primary key ( other than rails standar 'id' primary_key )
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base # It assumes "reviews" as table in database # Below line indicates reviews table contains column_name "reviewId" which is a primary_key set_primary_key :reviewId end
3. Foreign key association
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base # Below line indicates reviews table contains column_name 'RatingId' which is foreign_key to primary_key # of 'ratings' table. # It can be applied to any associan type [ has_one, has_many, belongs_to, has_many_through ] belongs_to :rating, :class_name => "SiteUser", :foreign_key => "RatingId" end
4. Model association ( non-standard model name )
class Review < ActiveRecord::Base # Below line indicates reviews table contains column_name 'UserId' which is foreign_key to primary_key # of model with class_name 'SiteUser' belongs_to :user, :class_name => 'SiteUser', :foreign_key: => 'UserId' end

There are many ways that can be used to submit sitemap to search engines.

Lets discuss approaches

1. Put sitemap.xml in public folder and you are done.
    Crawlers will find it through url
    http://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

2. There are many online sites which generates sitemaps for you.
    like http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

3. Open following urls in browser. Be sure to add xml sitemap path for your site.

a. Google submit
    http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=XML_SITEMAP_PATH

b. Yahoo Submit
    http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=XML_SITEMAP_PATH

c. Ask Submit
    http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=XML_SITEMAP_PATH

d. Webmaster submit
    http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap=XML_SITEMAP_PATH

5. Best practices in rails to submit sitemap is scheduled task (cron job).
    Write a rake task that will generate sitemap in rails public folder and
    will submit sitemap.xml file to search engines. ( as mentioned above.)

Got easy :)
