1) It is a bit more complex because of static, appadmin, and admin.
You can map
/function/var1/var2
into
/app/controller/function/var1/var2
using a file routes.py
------- begin file
routes_in=[
('/admin/$anything','/admin/$anything'),
('/static/$anything','/app/static/$anything'),
('/appadmin/$anything','/app/appadmin/$anything'),
('/$anything','/app/default/$anything'),
]
routes_out=[(y,x) for (x,y) in routes_in]
----- end file
2) in db.py define
def url(f,args={},vars={}):
return URL(r=request,f=f,args=args,vars=vars)
def go(f,args={},vars={},flash=''):
session.flash=flash
return go(url(f=f,args=args,vars=vars))
and use
url('index')
or
go('index',flash='you are being redirected')
I do it all the time
