Hello,
I am new to django, so I apologize if I am missing something obvious.
I have a urls.py file that looks like this:
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
(r'^$', 'faros.lantern.views.home_page'),
(r'^login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login'),
(r'^logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout'),
(r'^about/$', 'faros.lantern.views.about_page_index', {}, 'about_page_index'),
(r'^about/(?P<page_id>([a-z0-9]+/)?)$', 'faros.lantern.views.about_page', {}, 'about_page'),
)
Views that look like this:
def about_page_index(request):
try:
return render_to_response('lantern/about/index.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request))
except TemplateDoesNotExist:
raise Http404
def about_page(request, page_id):
page_id = page_id.strip('/ ')
try:
return render_to_response('lantern/about/' + page_id + '.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request))
except TemplateDoesNotExist:
raise Http404
And a template that includes the following:
<a href="{% url lantern.views.about_page_index %}">Contact</a>
<a href="{% url lantern.views.about_page page_id="contact" %}">Contact</a>
I get this error message:
Caught an exception while rendering: Reverse for '<function about_page at 0x015EE730>' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'page_id': u'contact'}' not found. The first reverse works fine (about_page_index), generating the correct URL without error messages.
I think this is because the request argument is used in the about_page ( request) view , so I need to pass it when I create the url in my template. The problem is that I don’t know how to get to it, and the search around me will not deliver. Any ideas?
Thanks,
House
