And what's not to like?

So an article titled 'coffee' and a product category 'coffee' end up with the same URL. And don't think it won't happen. I've seen it many times, especially with products that don't have a plural, like "fish". The theory being that if you name categories plular and products singular, you won't clash. But yes, you would need to do this in a view or .... create your own resolver (see django.urls.resolvers). Also think about the fact that just to resolve your URL, you would need at minimum n database queries, where n is the number of models matching. That don't scale well. -- Melvyn Sopacua -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
