I haven't used this group in a long time, so I hope I do everything
correctly. If I don't, I apologize in advance.
I thought I understand the way django uses URL's in the urlconf to match
URL's, but I was wrong. Here's my question:
Here's my urlconf. . .
url(r'^all/$', 'article.views.articles'),
url(r'^get/(?P<article_id>\d+)/$', 'article.views.article'),
url(r'^language/(?P<language>[a-z\-]+)/$', 'article.views.language'),
url(r'^create/$', 'article.views.create'),)
and here's the other one in the site directory.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^articles/', include('article.urls')),
url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'mysite.views.login'),
url(r'^accounts/auth/$', 'mysite.views.auth_view'),
url(r'^accounts/logout/$', 'mysite.views.logout'),
url(r'^accounts/loggedin/$', 'mysite.views.loggedin'),
url(r'^accounts/invalid/$', 'mysite.views.invalid_login'),
url(r'^accounts/register/$', 'mysite.views.register_user'),
url(r'^accounts/register_success/$', 'mysite.views.register_success'),)
Here's the question: If I have the URL "
http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/create/"; it works fine and takes me to the
correct page. But why does it work when I have the "/article" in the url.
According to the urlconf last entry r'^create/$', it should only match a
url with "/create" NOT a url with "/article/create". The caret means
"starts with" and the $ means "end with", so to get to the "create" page it
should be a url with just "/create/" in it, right?
I've looked at the django docs explanation, I've gone through every web
site that talks about this, I understand regex, but I still don't
understand why this is happening.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris Kavanagh
