Meanwhile I gave the parameter-based rewrite system a try again. I have:
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
default_application='color_book',
default_controller = 'colors',
default_function = 'show_color_page',),
color_book = dict(languages=['en', 'it', 'fr', 'de'],
default_language='en'),
)
In contrast to my initial idea it should be possible to pass my color and
color variation categories as args to the URL function to build my desired
URL structure and let the parameter-based routes.py just cut off the
application, controller and function names instead of replacing them using
a pattern-based routes.py file.
This works half way: Above defined application and controller names are
left out as soon as the routes.py is loaded. And I can access my pages
without app and controller name in the URL. But leaving out the function
name only works for the index page:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/ (index page loads correctly)
The original URL
(http://127.0.0.1:8000/color_book/colors/show_color_page/title-of-the-page
of other pages cannot be replaced by entering
http://127.0.0.1:8000/title-of-the-page (invalid request)
I have to enter: http://127.0.0.1:8000/show_color_page/title-of-the-page to
access that page.
Any idea why?
