Question

Just having some problems redirecting urls.

urls.py

url(r'^index\.asp$', views.Redirect, name='redirect'),

views.py

pageID = {
"2145841371" : "/home",
"2145887330" : "/club",
}

def Redirect(request):

pageID = request.GET.get('pageID')
return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect(pageID))

Basically what I want it to do is when the user tries a old url (e.g. index.asp?pageID=2145841371) it will redirect them to the new one. Thoughts?

It looks like you want something like this:

def Redirect(request):
    redirect_map = {
        '2145841371': '/home',
        '2145887330': '/club',
    }
    pageID = request.GET.get('pageID')
    return redirect(redirect_map[pageID])
