Question

My problem is people keep linking to example.com/FooBar but the actual link is example.com/foobar.

My current regex is…

SLUG = '(?P<slug>[\w\d-]+)'

I hope that makes sense. I was surprised I couldn’t find this question already asked. Maybe my google fu is weak today.

The regex matches both. The difficulty is that you’ve likely got a query like:

obj = MyModel.objects.get(slug=slug)

Which isn’t matching.

To fix this, change the query to:

obj = MyModel.objects.get(slug=slug.lower())
