I'm using Django-MPTT to develop a categorization app for my
Django project. But I can't seem to get the regex pattern for adding a trailing slash that doesn't also break on child categories.
Here's an example URL: http://mydjangoapp.com/categories/parentcat/childcat/ I'd like to be able to use http://mydjangoapp.com/categories/parentcat and have it redirect to the trailing slash version. The same should apply to http://mydjangoapp.com/categories/parentcat/childcat (it should redirect to http://mydjangoapp.com/categories/parentcat/childcat/).
Here's my urls.py:
from
django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from
django.views.decorators.cache import cache_page
from storefront.categories.models import Category
from storefront.categories.views import SimpleCategoryView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^(?P<full_slug>[-\w/]+)', cache_page(SimpleCategoryView.as_view(), 60 * 15), name='category_view'),
)
And here is my view:
from
django.core.exceptions import ImproperlyConfigured
from
django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from
django.views.generic import TemplateView, DetailView
from
django.views.generic.detail import SingleObjectTemplateResponseMixin, SingleObjectMixin
from
django.utils.translation import ugettext as _
from
django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
from storefront.categories.models import Category
class SimpleCategoryView(TemplateView):
def get_category(self):
return Category.objects.get(full_slug=self.kwargs['full_slug'])
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(SimpleCategoryView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context["category"] = self.get_category()
return context
def get_template_names(self):
if self.get_category().template_name:
return [self.get_category().template_name]
else:
return ['categories/category_detail.html']
And finally, my model:
from
django.
db import models
from mptt.models import MPTTModel
from mptt.fields import TreeForeignKey
class CategoryManager(models.Manager):
def get(self, **kwargs):
defaults = {}
defaults.update(kwargs)
if 'full_slug' in defaults:
if defaults['full_slug'] and defaults['full_slug'][-1] != "/":
defaults['full_slug'] += "/"
return super(CategoryManager, self).get(**defaults)
class Category(MPTTModel):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description = models.TextField(blank=True, help_text='Please use <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax">Markdown syntax</a> for all text-formatting and links. No HTML is allowed.')
slug = models.SlugField(help_text='Prepopulates from title field.')
full_slug = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True)
template_name = models.CharField(max_length=70, blank=True, help_text="Example: 'categories/category_parent.html'. If this isn't provided, the system will use 'categories/category_detail.html'. Use 'categories/category_parent.html' for all parent categories and 'categories/category_child.html' for all child categories.")
parent = TreeForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True, related_name='children')
objects = CategoryManager()
class Meta:
verbose_name = 'category'
verbose_name_plural = 'categories'
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
orig_full_slug = self.full_slug
if self.parent:
self.full_slug = "%s%s/" % (self.parent.full_slug, self.slug)
else:
self.full_slug = "%s/" % self.slug
obj = super(Category, self).save(*args, **kwargs)
if orig_full_slug != self.full_slug:
for child in self.get_children():
child.save()
return obj
def available_product_set(self):
""" Returns available, prioritized products for a category """
from storefront.apparel.models import Product
return self.product_set.filter(is_available=True).order_by('-priority')
def __unicode__(self):
return "%s (%s)" % (self.title, self.full_slug)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return '/categories/%s' % (self.full_slug)
