Hi Uwe,
You might be able to leverage the 'url' template tag which comes with
django?
e.g. For the 'add observation' example above, if you pass in the
country code as part of the context you return in your view(s), or
leverage middleware to automatically add it to every response based on
the request path, then something like the below might mitigate the
need to write a custom template tag?
# Name the url in urls.py
# Assuming your view is called 'add_observation' and it accepts a
parameter 'country_code'
url(r'/(?P<country_code>[a-zA-Z]{2})/observations/add/$',
'add_observation', \
name='add_observation'),
You can then use the 'url' template tag to reference the view
<a href="{% url add_observation country_code=country_code %}"> Add
Observation </a>
This is an interesting problem, please do let us know how you solve it
in the end :)
John
p.s. I haven't tested the above, the regex might be dodgy ;)
