customize url for GET form

[jean polo]

hello
while using GET form, I can select several objects with an URL like:
xxxxxx?id=1&id=2&id=3 etc..

How could I have instead an URL like that:
xxxxxx?id=1,2,3,4 etc... ??

Thanks,
_j

I think that if you use id=1&id=2&id=3 you are overriding the id value... It's no way to do that with GET

Why would you want to? The first is the standard HTTP method of
sending multiple items in a GET (and indeed in a POST, although you
don't see the data in the URL). Changing it would probably be a bad
idea.

well it was just to simplify some URLs but if you guys tell it's bad
practice, I'll stick with it =)

Au contraire:

>>> from django.http import QueryDict
>>> QueryDict('id=1&id=2&id=3')
<QueryDict: {u'id': [u'1', u'2', u'3']}>

Wel... but to do this, you must to catch the url and get from it... but really, with urls.py can you do that?

Perhaps, with a regex line in urls.py as:

(^\d+)?(/\d+)*/?$ you can get all the number style: http://url/1/2/3/4/5... but I don't know how do it exactly.

ok sorry if I used a bad example with id..
I meant something like:
xxxxxx?bla=1,2,3,4

I got it working by using a special field ('bla') in my form which is
a CharField
then I parse bla:
arr = request.GET.get('bla').split(',')
if all items of arr are integers, I have my array of 'bla' =)

You are now departing from convention, or how everyone else does
things. Whilst this may work for a while, you will quickly get annoyed
that you cant do simple things easily, like generating URLs of that
format.

If your URL looks like this:

xxxxx?bla=1&bla=2&bla=3&bla=4

then you get your list of bla like so:

arr = request.GET.getlist('bla')

You can then regenerate your URL easily using a QueryDict:

>>> from django.http import QueryDict
>>> q=QueryDict('', mutable=True)
>>> q.setlist('blah', ['1', '2', '3', '4'])
>>> q.urlencode()
'blah=1&blah=2&blah=3&blah=4'

However, you now can't do any of this, and will have to hand craft
your URLs, just because you don't like convention. Enjoy.

Cheers

thingz..
