Hedronist, Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion but it still doesn't work. Thanks for the link. I'll look it over and hopefully be able to solve the problem. In regards to having all of my pages as close to the root as possible. I was reading that search engines put more importance

Try downloading Kodos and sticking in your regex and the string you want to match it and see what it says. Todd On Jan 2, 2008 12:59 AM, Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ocgstyles, > Tried it...still no good > > (r'^(?P[a-zA-Z]+)_(?P[a-zA-Z]+)/$', 'showline'), > > > On Jan 1, 11:23 pm,

Todd, My app works fine. When I have the following line in my url file then everything works fine (r'^(?P[\w-]+)/(?P[\w-]+)/$', 'showline'), / It just doesn't work with I take out the '/' and replace it with the '_' On Jan 1, 10:25 pm, "Todd O'Bryan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Have you added the app to your INSTALLED_APPS ? Maybe you should paste in your site's urls.py as well as the app's. On Jan 1, 2008 11:09 PM, Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ocgstyles, > I've tried the following combinations however I still get the Page Not > Found error: > >

ocgstyles, I've tried the following combinations however I still get the Page Not Found error: (r'^(?P[a-zA-Z-]+)_(?P[a-zA-Z-]+)/$', 'showline'), (r'^(?P[-a-zA-Z]+)_(?P[-a-zA-Z]+)/$', 'showline'), (r'^(?P[a-zA-Z\-]+)_(?P[a-zA-Z\-]+)/$', 'showline'), (r'^(?P[a-zA-Z_]+)_(?P[a-zA-Z_]+)/$',

Re: Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables?

I thought you wanted to capture either words or hyphens, so I just replaced \w, which also consumes underscores, with [a-zA-Z], which doesn't consume the underscores. So the new regex [a-zA-Z-]+ will consume one or more letters or hyphens. The one I replaced it with should work for

Re: Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables?

No, because he doesn't want it to match the underscore. I think this works: [-a-zA-Z] because a hyphen in the first position matches a literal hyphen. However, to be sure, you can use a backslash [a-zA-Z\-] For all regex questions, I highly recommend the Kodos app. It lets you enter Python

Re: Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables?

ocgstyles, I'm not sure what's going on. What does the last '-' mean in the following code [a-zA-Z-]? Occasionally I'm going to have the a url that is going to have a '-' in the variable. For example http://mysite.com/sprint-phone_cellphone. So I'm not sure if [a-zA- Z-] is going to work. On

Re: Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables?

Hi Greg, The problem is that "\w" is consuming the underscore. Instead of using [\w-], use [a-zA-Z-]. The pattern would then look like: (r'^(?P[a-zA-Z-]+)_(?P[\w-]+)/$', 'showline') Hope that helps. Keith On Jan 1, 9:05 pm, Greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > I orginially had my url

Can I use a underscore in my url to separate variables?

Hello, I orginially had my url like this: (r'^(?P[\w-]+)/(?P[\w-]+)/$', 'showline') Which would work fine when going to the url 'www.mysite.com/sprint/ cellphone/' // However, I want to change my url structure so that all of my pages are as close to the root as possible. So I
