I ended up with this (from both of you, thanks):
urls.py:
(r'^contact/thanks/(?P<sender>.*)/$','mysite.books.views.thanks'),
and in my views.py:
def thanks(request, sender):
return render_to_response('books/thanks.html',{'user': sender})
thanks.html:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %} Thank You {% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<p> Thanks {{user}}.</p>
{% endblock %}
and it works.
But what I don't understand is the comment on GET. I thought that was
what I was doing. Or am I doing the same thing only wrong? Are you
saying that I should use a querystring in the url like myurl/?
email=theemail&anothervar=something... instead of just the straight
URL technique. That'll be different with regular web pages won't it
(pretty urls?)
Also, is the ?P a regular expression and is <> a python way of
embedding variables?
Sorry for so many questions. I'm learning Python and Django at the
same time, well trying to. Thank you.
