Example in this problem we need redirect the url http://localhost:8000/a/b/C/123/4/5/ to http://localhost:8000/abC12345 without / slash.
1. In your views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
#Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/a/16627830/3445802
class UserRedirectView(RedirectView):
permanent = False
def get_redirect_url(self, pk):
pk = ''.join(str(pk).split('/'))
return reverse('pool_fix_page', kwargs={'pk': pk})
def pool_fix(request, pk):
return HttpResponse("You're looking at question %s." % pk)2. In your urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
# first view the pool to doing redirection
url(r'^pool/(?P<pk>[0-9a-zA-Z\/]+)/$', views.UserRedirectView.as_view(), name='pool'),
# allow decimal and words only.
url(r'^pool/(?P<pk>[\d\w_]+)$', views.pool_fix, name='pool_fix_page'),
]
