I thought I understand the way django uses URL's in the urlconf to
match URL's, but I was wrong. Here's my question:
Here's my urlconf. . .
url(r'^all/$', 'article.views.articles'),
url(r'^get/(?P<article_id>\d+)/$', 'article.views.article'),
url(r'^language/(?P<language>[a-z\-]+)/$', 'article.views.language'),
url(r'^create/$', 'article.views.create'),)
and here's the other one in the site directory.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^articles/', include('article.urls')),
url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'mysite.views.login'),
url(r'^accounts/auth/$', 'mysite.views.auth_view'),
url(r'^accounts/logout/$', 'mysite.views.logout'),
url(r'^accounts/loggedin/$', 'mysite.views.loggedin'),
url(r'^accounts/invalid/$', 'mysite.views.invalid_login'),
url(r'^accounts/register/$', 'mysite.views.register_user'),
url(r'^accounts/register_success/$',
'mysite.views.register_success'),)
Here's the question: If I have the URL
"http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/create/"; it works fine and takes me to
the correct page. But why does it work when I have the "/article" in
the url. According to the urlconf last entry r'^create/$', it should
only match a url with "/create" NOT a url with "/article/create". The
caret means "starts with" and the $ means "end with", so to get to the
"create" page it should be a url with just "/create/" in it, right?
I'm a bit confused by your question. All of your "urlconf" paths will
need to have "/articles" in the path to be found. Although regex does
use "^" and "$" to denote beginning and end, you have split your pattern
matching into two stages so they are just matching the pattern available
in each stage.
Was your mention of "/article" above a typo and you meant "/articles"?
You might want to follow up with a description of what behavior you need
to help folks give you a solution.
