In your case, can't you just set the default function to 'view' (the function you want to hide is called 'view' in both controllers)? Or set it to 'index', but move the 'view' functionality to the 'index' function, and then rename the current 'index' function to something else, such as 'list'. Anthony

Then this should work: === user.py === def index() if request.args(0): user = request.args(0) ... else: # list ... === restuarant.py === def index() if request.args(0): user = request.args(0) ... else: # list ...

I think that you should be able to define different default functions for each controller in web2py
[web2py] Re: default function of a controller
That should be easy to support. In default.py: def user(): if request.args(0): user = request.args(0) ... else: # list ... def restaurant(): if request.args(0): restaurant = request.args(0) ... else: # list ...

I have controller over my URLs I have this controller 'user' with 2 functions: index(list of users), view(user details) I have another controller 'restaurant' with 2 functions: index(list of restaurants), view(restaurant details) I wanted to have this urls: http://domain.com/user/mcdonalds and http://domain.com/restaurant/mcdonalds On Jul 12, 10:35 pm, pbreit wrote: > How do you want it to work exactly?

How do you want it to work exactly? Can you show us an example? And what are your constraints? Do you not have control over your URLs?
[web2py] Re: default function of a controller
If your controller doesn't have an index function at all, you could add something like this to one of your models: if request.controller = 'mycontroller' and request.function == 'index': request.function = 'myfunction' So that if someone tries to go to /mycontroller or /mycontroller/index, they will get the 'myfunction' function instead.

It's not supported. If someone wants to implement it, I suggest allowing: functions = dict(...) (in addition to a list), where each dict entry would be of the form: controllername = [list of functions]. Be sure to write a set of unit tests.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Pattern- Based System supports URL re-writing different domains to different applications.

I must use the Parameter-Based System because I have different domains linking to different applications.. I think that being able to choose a default function for each controller would be a top-feature!

I also didn't want to use that solution, because I'm trying to have
clean urls. With that solution I get the function name in the url :/

Actually, redirect takes a URL, so you can pass the args to the URL
function:
redirect(URL('other_controller', 'other_function', args=request.args,
vars=request.vars))
I'm not sure I would recommend the redirect method, though -- it generates a
new request, so introduces an unnecessary delay. It also returns a 303 HTTP
status code by default (though you can change that to 200 via a second
argument to redirect).

Yes, I have index as the default function but for a specific
controller I want it to be a different default function.

That solution doesn't work for me because I have some arguments.
Is there another way? I use the new routers function on routes.py

If you use the parameter-based URL rewrite system (see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Parameter-Based-System), you can specify default_function in either the BASE router or an application specific router, but I think that would set the default function for all controllers, not just a particular controller. Otherwise, I suppose you could use the pattern-based rewrite system (see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Pattern-Based-System). Note, the two systems cannot be mixed. Anthony
[web2py] Re: default function of a controller
You can set default_controller and default_function in routes.py but that
changes it for your whole app.
But why change this? I always advise not changing this. One thing you could
do instead is:
def index():
redirect('other_controller', 'other_function')
