Yup. That is exactly what I wanted to do... I hadn't made up my mind onto wether I wanted to force a redirect or stick with the original URL. But as you mentioned the SEO aspect is important and an added bonus would be that a canonical url would "feel" more structured. Thanks for the quick

The answer was given to you in the previous post. Whatever __unicode__() returns from your model is what will be displayed. So, on your model, define a __unicode__ method: e.g. class Person(...): def __unicode__(self): return self.name On Jun 18, 12:03 am, DaveB
