Hi,
You can already use any unique field as the slug field, for example:
path('product/<slug>/', views.ProductDetail.as_view()),
ProductDetail(DetailView)
model = Product
slug_field = 'order_id'
If you want to use a different name in the URL pattern, then
set slug_url_kwarg [1].
path('product/<order_id>/', views.ProductDetail.as_view()),
ProductDetail(DetailView)
model = Product
slug_field = 'order_id'
slug_url_kwarg = 'order_id'
Cheers,
Alasdair
