6,136 PointsLanding Page for Tacocat
Hi there. I was just wondering if there is supposed to be a landing page for the tacocat project. (i.e. an app.route("/") that redirects to something like landing.html). It's necessary to have a route for "/", but neither index.html nor taco.html seem to meet all of the qualifications that are needed in the app tester. I added a landing.html:
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block content %}
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Add a new taco</a></li>
<li><a href="#">No tacos yet</a></li>
<li><a href="{{url_for("register")}}">Sign Up</a></li>
<li><a href="{{url_for("login")}}">Log in</a></li>
<li><a href="{{url_for("logout")}}">Log out</a></li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}
In it's simplicity to cover all of the required bases. Since there is no way to add an additional file when you submit the challenge, is there another way you should be doing it or should you just do the cheatsy way I saw on the forums which was to have app.route("/") just return "add a new taco</br>no tacos yet</br>sign up</br>log in</br>log out" Cheers!

# index
@app.route('/')
def index():
tacos = models.Taco.select()
return render_template('index.html', tacos=tacos)
Then make any necessary changes to index.html to pass remaining tests.
