Make more use of slugs when 'reversing' URLs #824

Closed wfdd closed 8 years ago

wfdd commented 8 years ago

Though slugs are generally not required for the site to function, they're good indicators of what one might expect when opening a link. Slugs could also be stored in extra to avoid having to regenerate them upon request.

This turned out to be an issue with the built-in slugify filter, which can't handle Greek characters.

In [1]: from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify

In [2]: slugify('Γιάννης')
Out[2]: ''

The filter's used in place of the python-slugify function in templates.

Closing in favour of #880.
