That constrains the acceptable values of `direction` to one of 'up', 'down' or 'clear'. Any other value there will mean the URL isn't matched. So the URL is, for example: /videos/1/upvote/ /videos/1/downvote/ /videos/1/clearvote/ and the view will have parameters of object_id 1 and direction up, down or clear. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
