I'm trying to do the simplest routes.py possible.  I just want to get rid 
of the application name -- EVERYWHERE.  In addition, I'd like my main page 
(index.html) to just appear without any "default" controller in the URL. 
 The problem is, the auth login dialog always includes my application name 
in the "next=" field of the login form.  Nothing I do seems to affect it.

My routes.py is pretty simple...  It's the default example routes.py with 
the following additions:


default_application = 'my_app_name'     # ordinarily set in base routes.py
default_controller = 'default'  # ordinarily set in app-specific routes.py
default_function = 'index'      # ordinarily set in app-specific routes.py


BASE = ''  # optonal prefix for incoming URLs

routes_in = (
    # do not reroute admin unless you want to disable it
    (BASE + '/admin', '/admin/default/index'),
    (BASE + '/admin/$anything', '/admin/$anything'),
    # do not reroute appadmin unless you want to disable it
    (BASE + '/$app/appadmin', '/$app/appadmin/index'),
    (BASE + '/$app/appadmin/$anything', '/$app/appadmin/$anything'),
    #(BASE + '/appadmin', '/%s/appadmin'%default_application),
    # do not reroute static files
    (BASE + '/$app/static/$anything', '/$app/static/$anything'),
    # reroute favicon and robots, use exable for lack of better choice
    ('/favicon.ico', '/examples/static/favicon.ico'),
    ('/robots.txt', '/examples/static/robots.txt'),
    # route default app
    (BASE + '/index.html', 
'/%s/%s/index.html'%(default_application,default_controller)),
    (BASE + '/about.html', 
'/%s/%s/about.html'%(default_application,default_controller)),
    (BASE + '/$anything', '/%s/$anything'%default_application),
    # do other stuff
    ((r'.*http://otherdomain.com.* (?P<any>.*)', r'/app/ctr\g<any>')),
    # remove the BASE prefix
    (BASE + '/$anything', '/$anything'),
)


routes_out = (
    # do not reroute admin unless you want to disable it
    ('/admin/$anything', BASE + '/admin/$anything'),
    # do not reroute appadmin unless you want to disable it
    ('/$app/appadmin/$anything', BASE + '/$app/appadmin/$anything'),
    # do not reroute static files
    ('/$app/static/$anything', BASE + '/$app/static/$anything'),
    # do other stuff
    (r'.*http://otherdomain.com.* /app/ctr(?P<any>.*)', r'\g<any>'),
    (r'/app(?P<any>.*)', r'\g<any>'),
    # map default application
    ('/%s/%s/index.html'%(default_application,default_controller), 
'/index.html'),
    ('/%s/%s/about.html'%(default_application,default_controller), 
'/about.html'),
    ('/%s/$anything'%default_application, '/$anything'),
    # restore the BASE prefix
    ('/$anything', BASE + '/$anything'),
)


This seems like a pretty simple application of routes.py, and I would 
expect it to be a popular use for it.  I don't know anyone who wants their 
root page to be festooned with the application name when it is constant 
across every page in the site.

Warm regards,

Joe
