urlconf

I'm trying to reverse a named URL and include a querystring in it. Basically, I've modified the login function, and I want to send ?next= in it. Here's what I'm doing now: reverse(name) + "?next=" + reverse(redirect) Here's what I'd like to do: reverse(name, kwargs = { 'next':reverse(redirect) } ) My URL for the login page (just as an example) looks like this: url(r'^login/', custom_login, name = 'login'), So how do I modify this whole thing (or call it) to include the next without having to concatenate it? It feels like an iffy solution at best. Yuji 'Tomita' Tomita You can't capture GET

I am working on a Django project on Google App Engine. I have a URL like: http://localhost:8080/[company]/projects/project Note that [company] is a URL parameter defined in my urls.py like: (r'(^[a-zA-Z0-9-_.]*)/projects/project/(\d*)', 'projects.views.project_form'), I want to get the value of [company] from a middleware where I will set the GAE datastore namespace to the [company] value. Is it possible to get the [company] parameter from the request object passed in the process_request method of middleware class? If you are using the process_view middleware, you will have access to the views

I'm having trouble configuring my url to display a detail view. Clicking on this link: <a href='{% url blog_detail blog.slug %}'>{{ blog.name }}</a> shows blog.html , when I thought it would show blog-detail.html . There are no errors and the browser bar says: example.com/blog/the-slug , yet still displays the html from blog.html , not blog-detail.html . Any ideas why? Thanks for your ideas. url: url(r'^blog/', 'myapp.views.blog', name='blog'), url(r'^blog/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$', 'myapp.views.blog_detail', name='blog_detail'), views: def blog(request): blog_list = Blog.objects.all() return render

I'm following a tutorial where my urlpatterns are: urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^passwords/$', PasswordListView.as_view(), name='passwords_api_root'), url(r'^passwords/(?P<id>[0-9]+)$', PasswordInstanceView.as_view(), name='passwords_api_instance'), ...other urls here..., ) The PasswordListView and PasswordInstanceView are supposed to be class based views. I could not figure out the meaning of the name parameter. Is it a default parameter passed to the view? No. It is just that django gives you the option to name your views in case you need to refer to them from your code, or your

I have to build an url dynamically according to the current url. Using the {% url %} tag is the easiest way to do it, but I need the current url name to generate the new one dynamically. How can I get the url name attached to the urlconf that leads to the current view? EDIT : I know I can manually handcraft the url using get_absolute_url but I'd rather avoid it since it's part of a lecture and I would like to demonstrate only one way to build urls. The students know how to use {% url %} . They are know facing a problem when they have to generate a more complete url based on the current one.
