Thanks so much Massimo! I've seen that (.*) notation a lot around forums and maybe even this group (Not sure, as I came to the page via google and a group caching service). Is there a comprehensive and easy to read reference guide for routes.py? Based on my experience, it's difficult to get the right information. If there is no such thing, I'll keep notes on my blog in the hope that it's useful for someone else too.
I'll let you know how it goes, thanks again, Tris On Apr 15, 2:57 am, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > In> ('/(.*)', '/riffant/default/index/$1'), > > the (.*) is not named and therefore not set to $1.
