PODjango - url structure

copied!<p>How should I design url's or views to keep url structure like in the example below?</p> <pre><code>example.com/location/ example.com/category/ example.com/location/category/ url(r'^$', IndexView.as_view(), name='index'), url(r'^(?P<town>[\w\-_]+)/$', TownView.as_view(), name="town_detail"), url(r'^(?P<category_slug>[\w\-_]+)/$', CategoryView.as_view(), name="category_list"), </code></pre> <p>When I try to access url under category I am getting routed to TownView which is acceptable because the url patterns are almost the same.</p> <p>Should the category be put under example.com/c/category/ ?</p> <p>Edit:</p> <p>I did resolve my problem in a way I'm showing below. All answers are really good and helpful.</p> <p>I will have to validate how this solution will act and check if it's causing any problems.</p> <pre><code>url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w\-_]+)/$', BrowseView.as_view(), name="category_list"), url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w\-_]+)/$', BrowseView.as_view(), name="town_detail"), class BaseView(ListView): queryset = Advert.objects.all().select_related('category', ) template_name = "adverts/category_view.html" class BrowseView(BaseView): def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs): qs = super(BrowseView, self).get_queryset(*args, **kwargs) try: category = Category.objects.get(slug=self.kwargs['slug']) except ObjectDoesNotExist: object_list = qs.filter(location__slug=self.kwargs['slug']) else: category_values_list = category.get_descendants(include_self=True).values_list('id', flat=True) object_list = qs.filter(category__in=category_values_list) return object_list </code></pre>
