9. The resolve_alias View

• The resolve_alias view is shown below.

• Line 1 is the beginning of a python for loop. Web2py templates delimit python code with {{}}. The resolve_alias function passed a rows object to the view. We loop through the rows objects.
• Line 2 uses the redirect function to route the user to the URL found in row.the_url
• Line 3 The pass function closes the for loop and is necessary when writing Python code in templates as the indentations are not significant in this context.

##### Copy the code below and paste it into default/resolve_alias.html #####

{{for row in rows:}}
    {{redirect(row.the_url)}}
{{pass}}
