interpretting urls

[Smaran Harihar]

Hi,

I am bit confused about what exactly do these urls imply in the url.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',

 (r'^(?:index/?)?$', 'geonode.views.index'),

    (r'^(?P<page>help)/?$', 'geonode.views.static'),

    (r'^developer/?$', 'geonode.views.developer'),

    url(r'^lang\.js$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template',

               {'template': 'lang.js', 'mimetype': 'text/javascript'}, 'lang'),

    (r'^maps/', include('geonode.maps.urls'))

I know that a simple url syntax like this,

url(r'^data/$', 'geonode.maps.views.browse_data')

implies, that it will execute the function browse_data in views.py in the maps directory, inside the geonode dir.

But not sure what the above urls imply. I am absolutely new to Django so can u explain in simple terms.

This is all documented here : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/

Going thru the doc link you gave, I did not understand the term middleware request processing?

but if the incoming HttpRequest object has an attribute called urlconf (set by middleware request processing), its value will be used in place of the ROOT_URLCONF setting.

The doc did not give details for r'^(?:index/?)?$', in

(r'^(?:index/?)?$', 'geonode.views.index')

Thanks,

Hi,

Quote from URL dispatcher documentation:
"To design URLs for an app, you create a Python module informally called
a URLconf (URL configuration). This module is pure Python code and is a
simple mapping between URL patterns (as simple regular expressions) to
Python callback functions (your views).
"

So you need to do your homework and learn how to read and write (Python)
regular expressions since pretty much everything in url
config is a regular expression.

It's also in the FineManual. If you look at the doc's home page, you'll find a very explicit reference to middlewares :

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/#the-view-layer

Should I mention that there's a "search" feature in the doc too ?

but that is not yet fixed, it does not do multiword searches - better to
use duckduckgo's site feature.
