[web2py] Re: mydomain.com/#!/ detect and redirect

The "hashbang" ("#!") is for a very specific purpose where your whole page is coded in JavaScript. It was sort of popularized by Twitter who is actually now abandoning it. I'm not sure why you would want to use it. If you have your routes set up with a default app and default controller, you co

[web2py] Re: mydomain.com/#!/ detect and redirect

Hi Anthony, I read the relevant part of the book: http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/4?search=url+rewrite#Parameter-based-system and had a look at router.example.py file, I am not sure I completely understand the solution you provided me with. If you use the parameter-based rewrit

Hi Anthony, Thanks for your explanation of the hashbang url. -- However, the result will be returned as an Ajax response, so it won't replace the entire page with the new page -- is that what you're trying to do? Not exactly. For instance I have a user with the shortname janvermeer, when so
