Issues with page processors in Mezzanine

Question

I am using page processors to use some dynamic data on some pages. I have successfully used this on some URL like 'test' but when I try to use it on home page it doesn't work.

Code :

Working  ->

@processor_for("test")
def page_slug_processor(request, page):
    return HttpResponseRedirect("/events/")

Doesn't work ->

@processor_for("/")
def page_slug_processor(request, page):
    return HttpResponseRedirect("/events/")

Can someone tell me the correct way to do this .

Thanks

Edit :

Actually first one is working fine but in second case it doesn't work means I don't know whether that processor is called or not because it doesn't print anything , neither raise any error or Exception , So I doubted that it doesn't read the home slug or may be I have defined it in wrong way. Basically my requirement is to run a page processor on home URl ("/").

What behavior are you experiencing exactly? Mezzanine is not a very well documented library, so you'll need to be a bit more specific for people to help you. — zeantsoi, Dec 17 '13 at 06:55
Are both functions in the same file? If not, are you actually importing `processor_for` into both files? — zeantsoi, Dec 17 '13 at 06:59
I have edited my question. And I have defined only one processor but when I changed it to "test" it work and for "/" this it doesn't work and I have import processor_for else it would raise an error. — Inforian, Dec 17 '13 at 07:02
Can you try passing a blank string, i.e., `@processor_for("")`? — zeantsoi, Dec 17 '13 at 07:04

Look in your urls.conf. You will see that by default mezzanine does not generate a normal page for the homepage, but instead assumes it will be static.

Simply edit your project's urls.conf to use the HOMEPAGE AS AN EDITABLE PAGE IN THE PAGE TREE option, and read the associated comments in the file.
