Website views and other code

A 'view' is python code (a function or callable class) responsible for producing a HTML page for a user to view in response for going to a given URL in their browser. In Evennia lingo, it's similar in function to a Command, with the input/args being the URL/request and the output being a new web-page.

The urls.py file contains regular expressions that are run against the provided URL - when a match is found, the execution is passed to a view which is then responsible (usually) for producing the web page by filling in a template - a HTML document that can have special tags in it that are replaced for dynamic content. It then returns the finished HTML page for the user to view.

See the Django docs on Views for more information.

Overriding a view

  1. Copy the original code you want to change from evennia/web/website/views/ into mygame/web/website/views/ and edit it as you like.
  2. Look at evennia/web/website/urls.py and find the regex pointing to the view. Add this regex to your own mygam/website/urls.pye but change it to import and point to your changed version instead.
  3. Reload the server and the page now uses your version of the view.
