There is an example in the book related to redirection:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core?search=routes#Pattern-based-system
A less elegant way would be to: Using routes.py, map the /myc to the
path /app/controller/func. In the func(), redirect('url path to
company/myc'). This is, if you want to manage all of this in your app code.
nginx may have something for your case ... am not conversant enough in
that though.

Hi there,
I am trying to create redirects using web2py from effectively the
default index page (or just the route of the domain/package). Some
keywords (such as 'about', stored in a list) wouldn't redirect.
However, all not in that list would redirect.
The desired behaviour is:
|
https://startbean.com/about -> No redirect
https://startbean.com/myc -> https://startbean.com/company/myc
|
The default page that is shown at startbean.com is from the package
'default' and is called 'index'. If the redirect was as in the below,
it would be easy:
|
https://startbean.com/default/about -> No redirect
https://startbean.com/default/index/myc ->
https://startbean.com/default/company/myc
|
because the myc is a URL argument. But when it is from the root,
Web2Py tries to open a package called 'myc' and then finds no page
(index or controller function) so errors.
What is the best way of handling this? I was trying with routes.py,
but couldn't figure out a way to do this (am pretty sure it is not
supported). I thought about a redirect for the token after / to a page
called /default/redirect/<token> which would then decide about the
redirect, but there's no way to stop the infinite loop. Another
possible solution was a tweak to the nginx config so redirect when
there is one token after the /, but again I think this causes a
problem with the about.
Maybe there is a catch-all function for controllers that I haven't
found? I've gone through the web2py book and found nothing - any ideas
very welcome!
Thanks,
Sam
