No problem. You will likely use the form objects in your template, I just chose to create my own form in HTML.
Since the 'views.Login' is a string, you don't need to import it. It just tells Django which view to pass the request to when that url pattern is found. The ^ means the beginning of the url after the slash (www.mysite.com/<starting here>). The $ means the string ends. I found this useful, because without it, multiple urls will match. For example: with `url(r'^login', 'views.Login')`, the following will all match and go to views.Login: 1) www.mysite.com/login, 2) www.mysite.com/login_page, 3) www.mysite.com/login?no_login=1. So I specify the $ to make it more exact, more out of habit than requirement. If you add the slash to the end like `url(r'^login/$', 'views.Login')`, it will require the slash, so www.mysite.com/login will not match. If you want to have both urls work, I think this will work (although untested): `url(r'^login/?$', 'views.Login')`, where the /? means that there could be no / or one slash. With this, the following would not match: www,mysite.com/login///. If you wanted to allow multiple slashes, change the ? with *, like `url(r'^login/*', 'views.Login')`. Again, that's not tested, but it should work, I think. Happy Coding! Mark On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 6:09 PM, coded kid <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks bro.
