URL patterns don't match GET variables - ie anything after the ?. You
just need to match on /shiftcalendar/, and everything else will be
passed as keys in the request.GET dictionary.

writing a urlpattern for a form submission

[kosuke]

I'm sure this will come across as basic to many django users but it
has got me stuck so any helpful pointers would be appreciated.  I've
scoured the docs and come up empty.  Upfront apologies done now,
here's what I got:

Using django forms, i create a form which results in a submission
string like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/shiftcalendar/?year=2010=1=Get+calendar

So in my urls.py I set up a urlpattern like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('local1042.shiftcalendar.views',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^(?P\w+)/(?P\w+)$', 'showcal'),)

I thought that that would do it, and I've tried every variation you
could think of, but I'm missing something.  I know I should use POST
but for debugging I've been using GET.  The index page works just
fine.  I just can't get it to call the showcal function.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks. Kevin
