This is kind of an extension of an earlier (mostly unresolved) issue I
had brought up here:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/63beb7566dc352a8/1e6e137f5b5a434a
Here's my current url conf (I've commented out everything else):
url(r'^(johndoe|janedoe)/$', 'translator', name="translator"),
url(r'^(johndoe|janedoe)/(?P<entryName>[\w\d-]+)/$', 'entry',
name="entry"),
I would be using named groups on the first segment match, but named
groups and the | still don't seem to be working.
These two views accept their arguments like so:
def translator(request, translatorName):
...
def entry(request, translatorName, entryName=None):
....
I can't get {% url %} tags based on these views to work -- they fail
silently on most everything. Using reverse() to see what's going on, I
find that:
reverse('translator', args=['johndoe'])
Gets me the correct url, while this fails:
{% url translator johndoe %}
Looking into the url tag code, I don't see why that would happen. When
I try reverse() on the 'entry' view, like this:
reverse('entry', args=['johndoe'], kwargs={'entryName':'blogentry'})
I get this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

python2.5/re.py", line 233, in _compile

error: nothing to repeat
*******
Changing the url conf so that both of the arguments are positional,
rather than one positional and one named, and then calling
reverse('entry', args=['johndoe','blogentry']), gets me the same
error.
What am I not understanding about url configuration and reverse()!!??
Thanks in advance,
Eric
