Url logic

 

Hello,

 

I'm wondering how you would you organize the url layout in a following scenario

 

Suppose I've a table of Authors and for each author a list of books.

A book can have only one author, so I link the author with a foreign key.

 

Now I could point to a particular author with a url like this (to show the details)

 

/mylibrary/author/32

 

I wish to put a button to add a new book and would like the CreateView derived class handling the request to collect the author id (32 in this case) so my form would automatically set the foreign key and make it unchangeable from the client browser.

 

Now the questions are:

 

1) would you oranize the url in a way like this?   (notice that 32 is the author id)

/mylibrary/book/32/addnewbook

 

2) how do I extract the slug within my BookNew (derived from CreateNew)?

url(r'^book/(?P<slug>\d+)/addnewbook, BookNew.as_view()),

 

seems not avaliable as in the context/template: {{ slug }}

 

Cheers,

Giulio.
