I am using the concept of multiple languages in my project, and everything works fine.
But i am having some queries about my url.
When i am using this url www.asd.com/reg/?lang=es, then it display the data in spanish form.
But if i am using this url www.asd.com/reg/lang=es, then it does not display data in spanish.
The difference between two url is "?" , so can anybody suggest me some way with which I can accomplish my task without this "?"
Thanks
It's not possible to post variables without the ? in your URL. (more informations here)
If you want to manage it without the GET-Parameter (?lang) you need to rewrite the middleware I've posted to you. Also you need to modify your urls.py.
All you then may achieve is www.asd.com/reg/lang/es or http://es.asd.com/reg if you're familiar with subdomaining.

I read the documentation of Django but now I am at a point where I need some explanation. It is on this site and I understand the views but I really don't get how the urls work. It looks pretty cryptic and confusing to me. Can anybody explain to me how the urls work and what their purpose is?
Your urls.py file is virtual. They do it this way so you don't need to worry about a static url to http://yoursite.com/polls/34. By using this number as a regular expression /(d+) you can keep it dynamic so one url with this regular expression can be millions of different polls.
when the url is requested that regular expression number (whether it's 1 or 13352) is sent to the view which then says, I need to query the database for a Poll that has a PrimaryKey (PK) of whatever this number is. If it's found the Poll object is sent to the template by the view. The template then displays all the data in the poll object.
The bottom line is using something like this you can have one line for a url which is essentially millions of different urls. I use this same format for a movies website I'm creating www.noobmovies.com. I follow the same structure for Stars, Movies and blogs. Essentially three lines of code has created urls for 10,000 pages or so.
There is a dedicated Django documentation page for that: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/http/urls/
Maybe it will help you?
I've switched in my wordpress blog from urls like this:
/blog/2012/01/01/how-to-build-a-website
To shorter urls like this
/blog/?p=123
Wordpress has a search engine who works like this
/blog/search/?s=how to build a website
And search for the s params.
I'm trying to use .htaccess Redirectmatch to redirect all the old urls to the search url with the title of the post as the s params.
So if the user serf to
/blog/2012/01/01/how-to-build-a-website
should be redirect to
/blog/search/?s=how to build a website
I've coded this
Redirectmatch blog/\d+/\d+/\d+/(.+) http://www.mysite.com/blog/?s=$1
But this regex grap the whole string after the last / within the - symbol inside it.
In this way if a user serf to
/blog/2012/01/01/how-to-build-a-website
Will be redirected to
/blog/search/?s=how-to-build-a-website
while I want the user redireced to
/blog/search/?s=how to build a website
How can I write the regex to do this?
EDIT:
Yes guys, I know that this kind of urls are ugly :) But I just would know how to do it, because behind this there are some technical issues I'm trying to solve..
Please don't do this. I know it can seem tempting to go for short URLs; after all, you get things like TinyURL and such. Isn't it better to have /blog/?p=123 than /blog/2012/01/01/how-to-build-a-website?
No. It's not.
The reason is because when someone posts a link to your blog article, the longer URL means something. It tells the person how old the article is. It gives the title. It helps people find your article; after all, the URL is given a lot of weight by Google when indexing your site.
URLs used to be built for computers. Something like /blog/?p=123 is perfect for computers; it's easy to parse, it doesn't require any extra database lookups. You can write two articles named "How to Build a Website" and the blog engine doesn't have to make sure it adds a -2 on the second one. It maps easily to the actual structure of files on the server, without making up structure in the URL.
But we've realized since that URLs can be built for humans, too. The URL /blog/2012/01/01/how-to-build-a-website has a form that can be easily understood by humans. Sure, it's a bit longer to type, but all the bits you're typing are easier, and most URLs are copy'n'pasted anyway or just clicked on. It's more work for the computer, sure, but it's worth it. It makes the Internet friendlier.
So I'm sorry, but I won't help you. :)
I want to insert a URL filter and I would like the URL to be hard to dechiffre.
For example .*porn\.* in a way maybe that it uses the ASCII code for the letters in hex form .
Of course, the example is obvious and I definately will leave that one as it is ;)
But for the others I would like them to be hard to read!
Thx!
You can use the $_GET function in PHP to pull an ID out of the URL and display it that way, similar to Youtube with their "watch?v=". I recently did one using "?id=49" (I only have a few pages ATM, I will have about 70 soon). What I did is use a database with a song_id to index the information. I use the same basic layout, but you can use the ID to access information wrapped in PHP so that it doesnt get sent to the browser but will still display the page you want.
Or if you really want it to look crazy, you could use a database using the SHA() or MD5() function to encrypt it.
and your display will look like /page.php?id=21a57f2fe765e1ae4a8bf15d73fc1bf2a533f547f2343d12a499d9c0592044d4.
I'm new to Django and I have a BIG problem. I don't like the "url pattern" philosophy of Django.
I don't want my pages to look like
http://domain.com/object/title-of-object
I want
http://domain.com/title-of-object
and of course I will have more than one type of object.
Is there an elegant way to achieve this with Django (not using hard-coded urls)?
Thanks!
Ever wondered that, if what you want to do seems so hard to acheive, you're doing it wrong? What is so wrong with /foo/name-of-foo/ ?
I'm trying to imagine your use-case and wondering if you need 'human' URLs for only a handful of pages. If so, it would work to go with the /foo/slug-for-foo/ approach but then use the django.contrib.redirects app to support hand-written URLs that redirect to the saner, more RESTful ones?
It is possible. You'll have to create one catch-all URL pattern, for which you'll create a view that will search all possible object types, find the matching one, and process and return that. Usually, this is a bad idea.
Whenever I learn a new language/framework, I always make a content management system...
I'm learning Python & Django and I'm stuck with making a URL pattern that will pick the right page.
For example, for a single-level URL pattern, I have:
url(r'^(?P<segment>[-\w]+)/$', views.page_by_slug, name='pg_slug'),
Which works great for urls like:
http://localhost:8000/page/
Now, I'm not sure if I can get Django's URL system to bring back a list of slugs ala:
http://localhost:8000/parent/child/grandchild/
would return parent, child, grandchild.
So is this something that Django does already? Or do I modify my original URL pattern to allow slashes and extract the URL data there?
Thanks for the help in advance.
That's because your regular expression does not allow middle '/' characters. Recursive definition of url segments pattern may be possible, but anyway it would be passed as a chunk to your view function.
Try this
url(r'^(?P<segments>[-/\w]+)/$', views.page_by_slug, name='pg_slug'),
and split segments argument passed to page_by_slug() by '/', then you will get ['parent', 'child', 'grandchild']. I'm not sure how you've organized the page model, but if it is not much sophiscated, consider using or improving flatpages package that is already included in Django.
Note that if you have other kind of urls that does not indicate user-generated pages but system's own pages, you should put them before the pattern you listed because Django's url matching mechanism follows the given order.
