One more question if I may (I still don't get it): I am also replacing an existing website with a new web2py site. I've found links on other websites that still need to work with the new website.
If someone clicks on an old link such as "mydomain.com/aboutus.html", I would like it to redirect and find my new page at (with full url) "mydomain.com/init/default/index/aboutus. It is not obvious (to me) after looking at router_example.py and the book. Do I need to use the pattern based approach for this ? thanks Andrew W On Friday, January 11, 2013 11:29:25 AM UTC+13, Andrew W wrote: > > Yes, I think you're correct.
