Passing parameters to views

Views receive a number of parameters that are used to specify, change or override different parts of the app. If you take a look at the Nomadblog default views you will see how flexible Nomadblog is intended to be.

In order to pass parameters to Nomadblog views, you must first of all create a copy of the urls.py file in the Nomadblog app:

cp /path/to/django-nomadblog/urls.py /path/to/project/yourapp/blog_urls.py

Then point to it changing your project root URL pattern:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
        ...
    (r'^blog/', include('yourapp.blog_urls')) if not \
    NOMADBLOG_MULTIPLE_BLOGS else (r'^blogs/(?P<blog_slug>\w+)/', \
    include('yourapp.blog_urls')),
)

You can now modify your urlconf, like passing parameters to view functions with the kwargs. See the website/blog_urls.py file in the example projects to check out a few examples.
