Using django contrib's Redirects
Hi there! Awesome project, I am a big fan!
However I would either like to know how I can contribute to support django's contrib Redirects in distill, or how to properly implement a redirect in a project.
I have tried a few options, but I still seem to get stuck and can't quite figure out where I'm going wrong:
Using a view function like so:
def provider_redirect_view(request, new_url):
html = f'<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url={new_url}" /></head><body></body></html>'
return HttpResponse(html)
And then looping over all the redirects:
for redirect in Redirect.objects.all():
print(f"Generating pattern for: {redirect.old_path}")
unique_name = f"redirect_{redirect.id}"
# Each tuple should match the arguments expected by the view
def x_distill_func(new_url=redirect.new_path):
return [(new_url,)]
urlpatterns.append(
distill_path(
redirect.old_path.lstrip('/'),
provider_redirect_view,
name=unique_name,
distill_func=x_distill_func
)
)
Any help is much appreciated, or any hints as to how I can proceed. All I'm really trying to do is have distill generate a small html file for each redirect with a refresh code to another url (following the django contrib redirect model old_path and new_path variables).
