How Do I Pass Variables In Django Through The Url?

I am trying to pass a few variables but I am having some trouble and specifically have 3 questions. How do I encode the url string to take into account the special characters in th

Solution 1:

Pass these variables as it is to template, there use url, before sending to template just do this in view.

View.py

related = urllib.quote(related, safe='')

template

<ahref="{% url 'path.to.video_player' author video related %}" ><imgsrc="img.png" ></a>

Url.py

url(r'^partner/(?P<author>[-\w]+)/(?P<video>\w+)/(?P<related>\w+)/$', 'video_player'),

EDIT

If you want to go without related parameter, or if there is doubt video can also be None then just do this in your view:

defvideo_player(request, author, video=None, related=None):

now you can use the url by

<ahref="{% url 'path.to.video_player' author video %}" ><imgsrc="img.png" ></a>

Solution 2:

in newer versions of python you could simply just type: Example:

path('<int:id>/delete/', delete_view, name = 'delete'),
