I am having trouble in passing variables with spaces in them through the urls. Now Suppose I have an object
class Kiosks(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 200, unique = True)
owner = models.ForeignKey(User)
Now the "name" entered for kiosk is say "Akash Deshpande" and saved. Now while redirecting to a new page in the views, i am using the "kiosk name " i.e.
messages.success(request,"Kiosk edited successfully")
return HttpResponseRedirect('/kiosks/'+kiosk.name+'/')
The view which caters to this url is as follows:
def dashboard(request, kiosk_name):
kiosk =Kiosks.objects.get(name__iexact = kiosk_name)
deal_form = DealsForm(kiosk=kiosk)
code_form = CodeForm()
unverified_transactions = get_unverified_transactions(kiosk)
return render(request,'kiosks/dashboard.html',{'kiosk':kiosk,
'deal_form' : deal_form,
'code_form' : code_form,
'unverified_transactions' : unverified_transactions})
The main urls.py simply directs everything with "kiosks" to bellow urls kiosks urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('kiosks.views',url(r'^(\w+)/$', 'dashboard'),)
Now instead of going to this page it is giving an error "Page not found". How do i pass variables which have space in them ? Is the question clear? Any help will be highly appreciated.
