I think the flow could go something like the following. I'm guessing
that it makes sense to check the Section slug before the Page slug but
that could easily be reversed...
def section_or_page(request, slug):
# Look for section and call section_detail if found
try:
section = Section.objects.get(slug=slug)
except Section.DoesNotExist:
pass # Check for page down below
else:
return section_detail(request, section) # another view
# Look for page and call page_detail if found
try:
page = Page.objects.get(slug=slug)
except Page.DoesNotExist:
pass # return 404 below
else:
return page_detail(request, page)
# Otherwise, return 404
raise Http404, "No page or section found matching the slug: %s" %
(slug)
Then your detail views can do what you'd normally do, for example:
def section_detail(request, section):
# get other pieces from other models?
return render_to_response('section/blah.html', {'section':
section, 'other': other_model},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Hope that helps,
Rob
