Django - how can I get permalink to work with “throwaway” slug
I'm trying to add slugs to the url in my django app, much like SO does. Currently, I have pages that work just fine with a url like this: http://example.com/foo/123/ I'd like to add 'slugified' urls like so: http://example.com/foo/123/foo-name-here I can get it to work just fine, by simply modifying the urlconf and adding a throwaway value to the view function: #urls.py ulpatterns = patterns('project.app.views', url(r'^foo/(?P<foo_id>\d+)/(?P<name_slug>\w+)/$', 'foo_detail', name='foo_detail'), ) #views.py: def foo_detail(request, foo_id, name_slug): # stuff here, name slug is just discarded
