Re: get_absolute_url with custom extra parameter

Thank you for your answer!

I have a photo album which can be displayed in two modes: full (with url like 'album/id/full') and thumbnails ( like 'album/id/thumbnails' ). I would like 'get_absolute_url' to return a corresponding url depending on the given mode, something like {{ album.get_absolute_url full }} and {{ album.get_absolute_url thumbnails }}

The only solution I could find is to use two different functions: get_absolute_url_full and get_absolute_url_thumbnails. It works but it's ugly, I don't like it at all.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You should think about using the `url` tag, which does take arguments and seems to do what you want already:

    {% url 'album_full' album.id %}

    {% url 'album_thubmnail' album.id %}

Then your urls.py looks like this:

    url(r'/album/(?P<id>\d+)/full/$', full_album_view, name='album_full'),

    url(r'/album/(?P<id>\d+)/thumbnails/$', full_album_view, name='album_thumbnail'),

 

and if you still need the `get_absolute_url` function you can use the `@permalink` decorator to reuse the logic in urls.py
