Urls

Url patterns catching unexpected patterns
-------------------------------------------

Consider these patterns,::

    ...
    url('edit/', edit_view, )
    url('edit/bulk/', edit_bulk_view)
    ...
    
So when you try to go to 'edit/bulk/' you would get the edit_view, as
'edit/' pattern matched 'edit/bulk/'.

Solution: Always use the smallest pattern which matches.::

    ...
    url('^edit/$', edit_view, )
    url('^edit/bulk/$', edit_bulk_view)
    ...

Tip: In most of the cases you should be starting you patterns with `^` and ending
it with `$`.


Urlpatterns failing to catch expected patterns
------------------------------------------------

You want to edit posts based on slugs, so you do::

    url('^edit/(?P<entry_slug>\w-+)/$', edit_view, )
    
However this would not catch slugs with `-` in them.

Solution:
Think of the each value the slug can take, if you allow charactors and dashes, the
next line would catch all of them.

    url('^edit/(?P<entry_slug>[\w-]+)/$', edit_view, )
