Django URL Redirect

Question

How can I redirect traffic that doesn t match any of my other URLs back to the home page   urls py   urlpatterns   patterns         url r       macmonster views home         url r  macmon home     macmonster views home        url r  macmon output      macmonster views output        url r  macmon about      macmonster views about        url r          macmonster views home        As it stands  the last entry sends all  other  traffic to the home page but I want to redirect via either an HTTP 301 or 302

If you are stuck on django 1 2 like I am and RedirectView doesn t exist  another route-centric way to add the redirect mapping is using    r  match rules      django views generic simple redirect to     url     new url         You can also re-route everything on a match  This is useful when changing the folder of an app but wanting to preserve bookmarks    r  match folder   P lt path gt        django views generic simple redirect to     url     new folder   path s         This is preferable to django shortcuts redirect if you are only trying to modify your url routing and do not have access to  htaccess  etc  I m on Appengine and app yaml doesn t allow url redirection at that level like an  htaccess

You can try the Class Based View called RedirectView  from django views generic base import RedirectView  urlpatterns   patterns         url r       macmonster views home         url r  macmon home     macmonster views home        url r  macmon output      macmonster views output        url r  macmon about      macmonster views about        url r        RedirectView as view url   lt url to home view gt    permanent False   name  index       Notice how as url in the  lt url to home view gt  you need to actually specify the url   permanent False will return HTTP 302  while permanent True will return HTTP 301   Alternatively you can use django shortcuts redirect  Update for Django 2  versions  With Django 2   url   is deprecated and replaced by re path    Usage is exactly the same as url   with regular expressions  For replacements without the need of regular expression  use path     from django urls import re path  re path r        RedirectView as view url   lt url to home view gt    permanent False   name  index

In Django 1 8  this is how I did mine   from django views generic base import RedirectView  url r      views comingSoon  name  homepage      whatever urls you might have in here   make sure the  catch-all  url is placed last url r        RedirectView as view pattern name  homepage   permanent False     Instead of using url  you can use the pattern name  which is a bit un-DRY  and will ensure you change your url  you don t have to change the redirect too

Another way of doing it is using HttpResponsePermanentRedirect like so   In view py  def url redirect request       return HttpResponsePermanentRedirect   new url      In the url py  url r  old url      website views url redirect   name  url-redirect

The other methods work fine  but you can also use the good old django shortcut redirect   The code below was taken from this answer   In Django 2 x    from django shortcuts import redirect from django urls import path  include  urlpatterns           this example uses named URL  hola-home  from app named hola       for more redirect s usage options  https   docs djangoproject com en 2 1 topics http shortcuts      path     lambda request  redirect  hola    permanent True        path  hola    include  hola urls
