[google-appengine] Need help with redirection
Hi GAE Gurus, I'm fairly new to GAE. I'm making an APP which gets some data from a RESTful API. My home page has the form to take the keyword for searching, and below that a div which will hold the data returned from the API. The problem is, when someone first opens the homepage, that div will hold a message 'Please enter a keyword', which I'm sending in the 'template_values' dictionary, which also contains the site title, description etc. Once a person enters a keyword and clicks submit, I want the returned data to be displayed in same div. How to I redirect to the homepage on submitting the keyword, along with the returned data and the old values? I'm not using a datastore so I couldn't use the method given in the guestbook app which gets the values from the datastore and if no values are available, shows a message to enter a greeting. 'self.redirect', or the render method wipes out my old values, which include my site title, desc. etc! Please someone tell me a method to do it! Thanks for any help in advance.

[google-appengine] Re: Need help with redirection
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the response!
I have practiced the guestbook app 2 times for learning, and now the
3rd time, as I'm following it for making my own app.
My data comes from some API, where in I'm passing a keyword. My
problem is, I want to use a set of template values commonly throughout
the site, no matter to what URL I'm going to. For example, if I want a
value 'site-header':'Hello!', I want it to be same on all the pages. I
have to pass it every time template.render function renders a page! I
want to do it so that I can have a templating sort of flow for the
site. Like, any where I call {{site-header}}, it should get the same
value.
And one more doubt, how to redirect to a third party site from my app?
I made a tutorial for the app I'm making, and I want to redirect
people to it for learning it. I tried this:
My has a like to my site: Learn
My main.py file:
app = webapp.WSGIApplication([ ('/', Init),
('/learn', Learn)]
class Learn(webapp.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
self.redirect('myblog.com')
This isn't working! When I click the link, I get
http://localhost:8080/myblog.com
in the address bar (I'm working locally) and I tried hard coding the
address, but it doesn't work either!
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Rutwick
