While we're at it: you should definitely use django.core.urlresolvers.reverse (same thing as the {% url %} templatetag) to reverse-build your urls, instead of hard-coding them (well, unless you really enjoy having to grep thru your whole codebase when your url scheme changes). As a matter of fact, you wouldn't have had to edit this part if you had used reverse() instead, just adding the final slash in the url pattern would have been enough. > and added an extra url pattern ... > > urlpatterns = patterns('item.views', > url(r'^search/$', 'search'), > Note that you may want to make the slash conditional, ie: r'^search/?$' so it will match both "/search" and "/search/" HTH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
