register_converter

[אורי‎]

Hi,

Do I have to use register_converter in any file using it? I have a project with many urls.py files, and I want to register converters which will be used in multiple files. How do I register them? Do I have to register them in all the urls.py files? And where in my project should I put the converters definitions?

Also, can I register a converter with the name "slug"? (which is also defined by Django). I want to define "slug" as any string containing letters a-z, A-Z, digits 0-9, "-", ".", or "_" (the 2 latest characters will be redirected to "-"). for example the paths "/uri_rodberg/" and "/uri.rodberg/" will be redirected to "/uri-rodberg/". And not to use the Django-defined "slug".

I also want to define "digits" as any sequence of digits 0-9, but it's a string - not an integer. For example an ID of a user or entity. It can start with any numbers of leading zeros.

Hi,

You register your converter in the main urls.py file (which is usually in the main project name, alongside settings.py). That's all you need to do.

I don't know about the slug converter though - I would just reregister it and see what happens :)

Hi,

I checked and if I define a converter with a name of a default converter, such as "slug" - it overrides the default converter. The line that causes this is the line return {**DEFAULT_CONVERTERS, **REGISTERED_CONVERTERS} in get_converters() in Django.
