# This class a little tweaked by Satya
# I have added a new option to the has_permalink method, :unique
# By default, :unique=>true
# By default, if a permalink already exists, permalink_fu adds a trailing integer to make it unique.
# Eg: satya, satya-1, satya-2,satya-3.
# If :unique is set to true (:unique=>true), then this behavior is not altered.
# In some cases, if we donot want the permalink to have the trailing integers, we need to set :unique=>false
# Eg: has_permalink :title , :unique=>false
# Eg: has_permalink :title, :permalink_field , :unique=>false
