Hi, If you use something like
r'^(?P<page>.+)/$' then a variable called page will get passed to your view. It will contain the string that has been matched against the specified pattern (in this case any character 1 or more times (.+)) I think django uses standard python regular expressions in its url mapping. http://docs.python.org/library/re.html Your view function might look like this: def my_view(request, page=None): Obviously you can default page to be whatever you want.
