.. _routable_page_mixin:
====================================
Embedding URL configuration in Pages
====================================
The ``RoutablePageMixin`` mixin provides a convenient way for a page to respond on multiple sub-URLs with different views. For example, a blog section on a site might provide several different types of index page at URLs like ``/blog/2013/06/``, ``/blog/authors/bob/``, ``/blog/tagged/python/``, all served by the same ``BlogIndex`` page.
A ``Page`` using ``RoutablePageMixin`` exists within the page tree like any other page, but URL paths underneath it are checked against a list of patterns, using Django's urlconf scheme. If none of the patterns match, control is passed to subpages as usual (or failing that, a 404 error is thrown).
The basics
==========
To use ``RoutablePageMixin``, you need to make your class inherit from both :class:`wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models.RoutablePageMixin` and :class:`wagtail.wagtailcore.models.Page`, and configure the ``subpage_urls`` attribute with your URL configuration.
Here's an example of an ``EventPage`` with three views:
.. code-block:: python
from django.conf.urls import url
from wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models import RoutablePageMixin
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
class EventPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):
subpage_urls = (
url(r'^$', 'current_events', name='current_events'),
url(r'^past/$', 'past_events', name='past_events'),
url(r'^year/(\d+)/$', 'events_for_year', name='events_for_year'),
)
def current_events(self, request):
"""
View function for the current events page
"""
...
def past_events(self, request):
"""
View function for the past events page
"""
...
def events_for_year(self, request):
"""
View function for the events for year page
"""
...
The ``RoutablePageMixin`` class
===============================
.. automodule:: wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.models
.. autoclass:: RoutablePageMixin
.. autoattribute:: subpage_urls
Example:
.. code-block:: python
from django.conf.urls import url
from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
class MyPage(RoutablePageMixin, Page):
subpage_urls = (
url(r'^$', 'main', name='main'),
url(r'^archive/$', 'archive', name='archive'),
url(r'^archive/(?P<year>[0-9]{4})/$', 'archive', name='archive'),
)
def main(self, request):
...
def archive(self, request, year=None):
...
.. automethod:: resolve_subpage
Example:
.. code-block:: python
view, args, kwargs = page.resolve_subpage('/archive/')
response = view(request, *args, **kwargs)
.. automethod:: reverse_subpage
Example:
.. code-block:: python
url = page.url + page.reverse_subpage('archive', kwargs={'year': '2014'})
.. _routablepageurl_template_tag:
The ``routablepageurl`` template tag
====================================
.. currentmodule:: wagtail.contrib.wagtailroutablepage.templatetags.wagtailroutablepage_tags
.. autofunction:: routablepageurl
Example:
.. code-block:: html+django
{% load wagtailroutablepage_tags %}
{% routablepageurl self "feed" %}
{% routablepageurl self "archive" 2014 08 14 %}
{% routablepageurl self "food" foo="bar" baz="quux" %}
