I'm interested in different forms of url's and had a read about routes.py. But the manual tells me my app shouldn't rely on routes.py being present. So I thought of the following approach (it's the result of all of 15 minutes thinking/code/test so don't expect too much).
* I want to be able to recognise http://myserver/myapp/anytable/an_optional_id * let's assume I have a table 'user' and a controller 'default.py' that contains a function 'default()' * in compileapp.py the code identifies (or not) the controller and function and outputs 'invalid controller' or 'invalid function' as appropriate * my change basically says: if you don't find the controller try again with a default value 'default' before failing and if you don't find the function try again with the value 'default' before failing * in addition, each time it defaults it pushes the lower element to args[] * so when I enter http://myserver/myapp/user/1 control is passed to the default() function of the default.py controller and the two args are 'user' and '1' The code changes in compileapp.py start at line 190 and are marked below (new stuff): else: filename=os.path.join(folder,'controllers/%s.py' % controller) if not os.path.exists(filename): # new stuff default_controller='default' filename = os.path.join(folder,'controllers/%s.py' % default_controller) if os.path.exists(filename): request=environment['request'] request.args.insert(0,function) request.function=request.controller request.controller=default_controller else: # end of new stuff raise HTTP(400,error_message_custom % 'invalid controller', web2py_error='invalid controller') code=open(filename,'r').read() exposed=regex_expose.findall(code) if not function in exposed: # new stuff default_function='default' function=default_function if function in exposed: request=environment['request'] request.args.insert(0,request.function) request.function=default_function else: # end of new stuff raise HTTP(400,error_message_custom % 'invalid function', web2py_error='invalid function') Enjoy! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
