RedirectView()

[Brad Rice]

I'm using RedirectView and it is redirecting to my app, but is not rendering the view in the app I am pointing to.

I want to redirect my root / to my app /web

I have this in my primary app urls:

url(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/web/', permanent=False)),

I have this in web.urls.py

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

I have his in my web.vews.py

class Index(View):

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):

return HttpResponse('Hello, World!')

when I go to / I do get redirected to /web/ but I get a index.html template display rather than Hello World. It isn't finding my Index(View) class for some reason.

Can anybody explain to me how this should work?

Hi Brad,

You have not correctly written the web.urls.py file. It should be:

url(r'^web/$', IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),

The urls file doesn't know about in which app it resides, så you have to add the complete url yourself. As long as you don't add the web.urls.py into your main urls.py file with:

url(r'^web/', include(web.urls)),

then your code should work ok.

Regards,

Andréas

OK, thanks. I had added that. I was just putting the url to the particular file in place. This is my whole urls.py at the top: So you are saying don't add the line that includes the web.urls?

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

    url(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/web/', permanent=False)),

    url(r'^web/', include('web.urls', namespace='web'),

        )

)

Then this is the web urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',

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

url(r'^gallery', gallery, name='gallery'),

)
