Re: Django Project - handling call to the "root" url?

I need to handle a call to the root url for a site more elegantly than my current.

At the moment I have:

#urls.py

    (r'^$', 'myproj.myapp.views.root'),

    #and

    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

#views.py

def root(request):

    """Handle a call to the / (root) URL address"""

    return redirect('/admin/')

This works, but the extra "admin/" that has been added sticks out like a sore thumb on address bar the main page (which doubles as the login page).

If you want the admin app accessible from root, then put it there. admin.site.urls does not have to be placed at r'^admin/', you can change that to r'' (and get rid of your r'^$' entry), then you will have admin app at root of your site with no admin prefix on the admin urls.
