Using the URLconf
-----------------
There are several ways to include the flat pages in your URLconf. You can
dedicate a particular path to flat pages::
urlpatterns = patterns('',
('^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
)
You can also set it up as a "catchall" pattern. In this case, it is important
to place the pattern at the end of the other urlpatterns::
# Your other patterns here
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.flatpages.views',
(r'^(?P<url>.*)$', 'flatpage'),
)
Another common setup is to use flat pages for a limited set of known pages and
to hard code the urls, so you can reference them with the :ttag:`url` template
tag::
urlpatterns += patterns('django.contrib.flatpages.views',
url(r'^about-us/$', 'flatpage', {'url': '/about-us/'}, name='about'),
url(r'^license/$', 'flatpage', {'url': '/license/'}, name='license'),
)
