Using two urls to load the same template

[RLF_UNIQUE]

Hello,

I'm having this weird situation where if you go to my website like this

www.mywebsite.com

vs like this

www.mywebsite.com/index.html

I'm getting different values.

urls.py

urlpatterns += patterns('',   

      url(r'^index.html$',               views.index,               name='index'),

      url(r'^$',                              views.index,               name='index'),

)

view.py

def index(request):

   home_list = Home.objects.all()[:1]                                                                                                                                                                                                    

   context = {'home_list': home_list}

   return render_to_response('index.html', context)

index.html

{% extends 'base.html' %}                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  {% block content %}

  test

      {% for home in home_list %}

      {{home.description|safe}}

      {% endfor %}

  {% endblock %}

when I just go to mysite.com, I only get "test", whereas when I go to mysite.com/index.html, I get "test" as well as the home variable.

It almost seems like something isn't loading in the proper order?

Thanks

Kyle

Did some more testing, seems like it's completely skipping the views.py, and going straight to loading index.html, any way to force it to dynamically load?

I think I figured it out. I was building "in" satchmo and was previously appending my urls to satchmo s, which probably has a catch all handler (r'^$') already that was loading it's own view and rendering index.html but was hitting my (overridden) template without any context since the views handler was different

Hello Kyle,

I have no clue of what's happening at your Home object request but you
have two urls sharing the same name. You can allow the two urls in the
same pattern like this:

url(r'^(index\.html/)?$', views.index, name='index'),

Here, the group (index\.html/) can be found once or not at all thanks to
the '?'.

Best Regards,
M
