django url with parameter

Question

I want a django url to look like this:

event/1?type=fun

so far I have:

url(r'^events/(?P<event_id>[\w\-]+)/(?P<event_code>[\w\-]+)/$', views.web_event)

which would be:

 events/1/fun

what is the technique for changing it to parameters?

You are confused of GET parameter with django url parameters. The parameter after ? is an http request QueryString that exists way before django does. You cannot control that with django url definition.

Django doc about GET and POST.

Wiki about query string.

Edit:

As I stated above, it's a GET parameter not a POST parameter, so if you want to use it in your views, you should fetch it from request.GET:

var = request.GET.get('q')

Sorry I don't understand your question. You are already changed it into a parameter called event_code in your url definition, what else are you looking for?

if my link is localhost/url/?q=3, in django would I use request.POST.get('q') to return 3?
