With similar code in the main routes.py (main = in the web2py dir), the URL helper will "leave out" the 'default' and 'index' from the web address. E.g. assuming I have 'some_func' function in default.py controller, URL generated = *http://weburl.com/myapp/some_func* Likewise, for index page, it will be = *http://weburl.com/myapp*
However, when I move the code to app-specific routes.py (which is routes.py in the web2py/application/myapp folder), the url becomes = *http://weburl.com/myapp/default/some_func* in this case, for index, it shows up as = * http://weburl.com/myapp/default/index* Hence what I meant by not working. For complete reference, this is the code I use in main routes.py: routers = dict( BASE = dict( default_controller = 'default', default_function = 'index' ), ) And the code in the app-specific routes.py is routers = { app: dict( default_language = possible_languages['default'][0], languages = [lang for lang in possible_languages if lang != 'default'], default_controller = 'default', #I added this default_function = 'index', #and this ) } On Wednesday, October 3, 2012 11:22:50 PM UTC+8, Jonathan Lundell wrote: > > On 2 Oct 2012, at 9:24 PM, lyn2py <lyn...@gmail.com <javascript:>> wrote: > > The new (or maybe not so new, by now) app-specific routers is an excellent > idea.
