Yes, that certainly did help. Can't believe I didn't see this and it still
flew over my head when others pointed it out.
Looks a bit hacky, but this is the result I came up with (for future
person's reference):
(GET "/:profile-page" [profile-page]
(if (= (.indexOf profile-page " ") -1)
(let [profile-page (clojure.string/replace profile-page #"-" " ")]
(let [[{user-profile :handle}] (db/get-users profile-page)]
(if (not (nil? user-profile))
(layout/page-top
(str profile-page"'s Profile Page")
(profile/profile-page profile-page)))))))
It's sort of the finishing touches on a relatively complete project. Of
course, gotta mind those anchors (thanks for that reminder, lest I'd see
everything blow up).
Thank you everyone for the time and patience.
