django-urls

I'd like to deploy dynamic URL's for my app in two ways: when viewing available vehicle, I get a link like: http://www.url.com/2006-Acura-MDX-Technology-Package I also have a filter page, so here, the URL will change according to the filters selected like: http://www.url.com/2007-Nissan or http://www.url.com/2007-Nissan-Maxima and so on depending on the filters the user has chosen. What's the best way to go about this? EDIT 1 This now works def get_absolute_url(self): return u'%s-%s-%s-%s-%s' % (self.common_vehicle.year.year, self.common_vehicle.series.model.manufacturer, self.common_vehicle

Is there a way I can access current context passed by view in custom context processor so I can add missing variable if I want rather than overriding existing variable ? What I'm trying to Achieve: I construct my URL's like this /city_slug/ and I want to check if city variable already exist in context, otherwise I want to add city to my context (may be using the last used city stored in session variable otherwise default to some city and may be even set session variable for next use.) I think this is very common problem, How do you guys solve it ? You cannot access the current context from

It's clear how to create a URLPattern which dispatches from a URL regex: (r'^books/$', books), where books can further dispatch on request method: def books(request): if request.method == 'POST': ... else: ... I'd like to know if there is an idiomatic way to include the request method inside the URLPattern, keeping all dispatch/route information in a single location, such as: (r'^books/$', GET, retrieve-book), (r'^books/$', POST, update-books), (r'^books/$', PUT, create-books), The reason it's done as a single view method is that you're usually rendering some kind of page content as context

I've got a URLs pattern like this: urlpatterns = ( url(r'^$', list_titles, name='list'), url(r'^(?P<tag>[a-z\-0-9]+?)/$', list_titles, name='filtered-list'), url(r'^(?P<title>\S+?)/$', show_title, name='title'), ) The filtered-list and title match the same things. If there is an available list of things matching the tag in filtered-list , I want list_titles to fire off. But if there isn't a matching tag , I want to bubble that back to the URL processor so show_title fires off. If there's no matching title, I'll raise a proper 404 there. I know I can do this from inside the view...but it's a

I am from the Java Hibernate and Symfony2 background where I used to write the routing within the controller on the top of function like this: /** * @Route("/blog") */ class PostController extends Controller { I know its not available in Django but is there any way I can code some decorator etc. so that I can mention the URL like this: @URL("/mytest") class myView(): pass While it would be very undjangonic , you could try something like this: project/ decorators.py views.py urls.py # decorators.py from django.conf import settings from django.utils.importlib import import_module from django

I'm creating a classifieds website in Django. A single view function handles global listings, city-wise listings, barter-only global listings and barter-only city-wise listings. This view is called ads . The url patterns are written in the following order (note that each has a unique name although it's tied to the same ads view): urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^buy_and_sell/$', ads,name='classified_listing'), url(r'^buy_and_sell/barter/$', ads,name='barter_classified_listing'), url(r'^buy_and_sell/barter/(?P<city>[\w.@+-]+)/$', ads,name='city_barter_classified_listing'), url(r'^buy_and_sell/
