mpessas_, Yeah, I was just checking that out...

mpessas_, I don't know if it would break other URLs that are made with further paths appended to it. like b/photos/the_one

kaakku: Oops, typo. Correct one would be: r'^b/?$'

kaakku: What's your goal?

The dollar at the end will make it match only that one

jtiai, I have a popular page with something/popular/ and..

below that I have something/([-\w]+)

jtiai, If a user visits something/popular, then I want Django to server him the actual popular page.

jtiai, Instead of going down and checking something/([-\w]+)

kaakku: Then what mpessas_ said should work.

jtiai, Yeah, it is working. I am just worried if it would break anything else.

Thanks mpessas_ :)

kaakku: You are welcom

e

kaakku: Not really, though I suppose you set APPEND_SLASH to False...

jtiai, The default is True. I have not set it to False.

kaakku: Then you shouldn't be able to hit url that doesn't end with slash. if there is no slash django will issue redirect to slashed version.

kaakku: That though requires that you do have CommonMiddleware in your middleware list.

jtiai, That's the thing right.. when something/popular does not end with a slash, Django scans the entire URL list before the automatic redirect to appending a slash.

When Django does that, it finds to match something/([-\w]+)

kaakku: Right. Forgot that since I always use slashes at the end.

jtiai, Hmm... We should have designed our URLs better I guess.

kaakku: could be worse...

jtiai, Heh.

We originally decided that using json-rpc is a wonderful idea...

jtiai, Never used it until now. I presume you had regrets?

FunkyBob: in the classy-settings docs you say "composition over inheritance" and then propose the use of mixins.. how are mixins composition and not inheritance?

because a mixin, in theory, provides an isolated interface

mpessas_, That does not work because it breaks other urls that has the form b/what/is/

kaakku: Did you put the $ at the end?

mpessas_, Yes. These are my URLs: "something/b/?$, include('app.urls')" and "something/([-\w]+)"

So when I try to visit any of the URLs within that include,

the something/([-\w]+) is what gets executed.

kaakku: Can you give an example of the URL you try to visit?

mpessas_, Let me dpaste the actual thing for you.

FunkyBob: so non-colliding names, or at worse no super()-calling is considered "composition"?

let's forget the super thing

if my request.POST variable has multiple forms, how do I go through them and assign their values to an object?

mpessas_, https://dpaste.de/RvzF

kaakku: So, you also want to match b/anything/? Then you should drop the $

The dollar makes the regular expression only match /popular/ with or without a slash

kaakku: Otherwise, it just moves to the next entry

kaakku: You may have to explicitly set the /popular (without a slash) url though

kaakku: Well if you consider that rpc uses single endpoint url for multiple requests, yes it's really shitty thing you can do... We picked that just because I couldn't figure out how to do restful magic...

mpessas_, Oh... darn. The ?$ should have been in the first entry within trending/urls.py right?

kaakku: It seems so

mpessas_, I think so. Let me see.

kaakku: I am just thinking, this would however break the rest of the URLs

ie, it would try to match populartoggle_highlight instead of popular/toggle_highlight

kaakku: So, you may have to set the / at the start of the rest of the URLs

kaakku: Or, set the version without the / at the end explicitly in the urls.py and don't bother with it in traending/urls.py

mpessas_, Let me try playing around. We should get this right with a few trial and errors.

I can't find documentation on BannedPhraseForm.

mpessas_, The only change required was to remove that "$" from the end within urls.py :)

mpessas_, The $ is there within trending/urls.py.

mpessas_, So now it matches popular and popular/ and also goes and see what is there in trending/urls.py before it goes below.

mpessas_, So things are looking up now :)

kaakku: great
