Thank you Malcolm and Karen, I had to step for the day but when I got
home I read your comments and fixed the issue which was exactly as you
both pointed out.
this helped make my photo model much more search friendly.
@permalink
def get_absolute_url(self):
return ('photo_detail', None, { 'state' :
self.place.city.state.slug , 'city' : self.place.city.slug, 'place' :
self.place.slug, 'slug': self.slug })
and in my views.py
#photo
url(r'^photo/(?P<state>[-\w]+)/(?P<city>[-\w]+)/(?P<place>[-\w]+)/
(?P<slug>[\-\d\w]+)/$',
view = 'photologue.views.photo_detail',
name = 'photo_detail',
),
