As a simple alternative, you could do: def feed(): response.view = 'default/feed.rss' # or 'generic.rss' if you don't have a 'default/feed.rss' view That assumes you always want rss for the feed() function -- otherwise, you'll need to add the appropriate logic.

Re: [web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
Hopefully last question on this thread. routers = dict( init= dict(functions = ['index', 'user', 'contact', 'sitemap', 'feed', 'error']), ) above works for admin, appadmin & for other entries too Not sure the below is a problem with routes or not. I have a feed() function. If I browse to feed.rss it works fine. But I would like /feed/ as the url (without.rss). How to achieve it? Thanks again guys, Joseph

I guess it's using your functions list for all apps, and you have only
listed one function ('index') there. Instead, I think functions can be a
dictionary with a key for each app, so maybe try:
functions = dict(init=['index', plus other functions in
/init/controllers/default.py])
Not sure if you'll need to bother with an explicit entry for 'admin'.

Everything you put it BASE applies to all apps, so the functions= line in particular needs to go in an app-specific router. I also omitted the init/default/index definitions, since they're already the defaults. routers = dict( init = dict(functions = ['index']), )
Re: [web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
routers = dict( BASE = dict(default_application = 'init', default_controller = 'default', default_function = 'index', functions = ['index'], ), ) With the above routes, admin doesn't work. i.e: localhost:8080/admin/index throws a password pg but after that the control goes to /admin/site and it throws an error 'This webpage has a redirect loop'. How to resolve this? Thx, Joseph

It'd be possible to do that, of course, duplicating (or sharing) the dispatch logic, but we don't. The overhead to do so would be fairly high in a cgi environment, too.

Re: [web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
Thx Jonathan & Anthony. Following works: routers = dict( BASE = dict(default_application = 'init', default_controller = 'default', default_function = 'index', functions = ['index'], ), ) Regards, Joseph

No. The problem is that the router doesn't introspect the controller, and it
doesn't know what its function names are. So it assumes that 2011 is a function
in the default controller.
For this to work, it's necessary to provide the router with a list of valid
functions in the default controller: functions = [index, whatever, ...].

I think that's supposed to work. Jonathan, is that a bug?

yes anthony
Re: [web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
Is your application named 'init'?

Re: [web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
I used this the below in routes.in
(r'^(?P\d{4})/(?P\d{2})/(?P\w+)/$',
'/init/default/index/\g/\g'),
but when I go to a url
localhost:/2011/11/a-slug
it returns invalid request error
then I tried
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(default_application = 'init',
default_controller = 'default',
default_function = 'index',
),
)
which gives me the error:
invalid function (default/2011)
fair enough. I could traverse /index/2011
But can I drop index too from the url?
Thx,
Joseph

The only way I can think of doing it with the parametric router is to send everything to a default controller/function (so that yyy/mm/slug or page ends up in request.args) and dispatch from there based on args.
[web2py] Routes help for wordpress style urls
Hi, I am almost complete on a blog engine for myself and have also written import from wordpress. I'm not stuck at mapping the urls. In wordpress I've been using domain//mm/slug as url for posts and domain/page for pages. How do I translate that in web2py? Can this be achieved via parameter based routes or should it be only by pattern-based? Thank you, Joseph
