I am working on upgrading an old Django project to 3.2. Previously, our urls.py for the main project included the following so that the urls from impersonate were below /admin
url(r"^admin/", include(admin.site.urls))
url(r"^admin/impersonate/", include("impersonate.urls")),
When I update this code to django 3.2, I don't seem to be able to include any urls beneath /admin. The following code:
re_path(r"^admin/", admin.site.urls),
re_path(r"^admin/impersonate/", include("impersonate.urls")),
does not work, but it does work if I modify the impersonate line to:
re_path(r"^impersonate/", include("impersonate.urls")),
Basically, I want to preserve all of the impersonate urls to be beneath /admin, if this is still possible. I understand that this does not make them require admin permissions, rather this is just to group all the admin views of the project together.
I have seen that I can write a custom ModelAdmin also, but this will still move the urls to under /admin/myapp/mymodel/my_view/. I do not want the extra part of the path mymodel here.
The solution to this was to reorder the paths:
re_path(r"^admin/", admin.site.urls),
re_path(r"^admin/impersonate/", include("impersonate.urls")),
Any URL patterns you define for custom admin views must occur before the admin patterns.
re_path(r"^admin/impersonate/", include("impersonate.urls"))
re_path(r"^admin/", admin.site.urls),

The title is terrible - sorry about that.
So say I have a website say www.myhairynose.com/. I've configured my urls.py so that whenever the person enters www.myhairynose.com it redirects them to the index.html (where it displays the reactjs application). I've set reactjs with react-router and made it so when you click a button on the index page it goes to www.myhairynose.com/#/webpage.
Thing is... I don't want that.
I want it to go to www.myhairnose.com/webpage. I want react to handle this however and not django. ALL of this url thing should be in the same application of index.html. How do I configure django urls.py so that if I enter www.myhairynose.com/webpage it goes to the index of www.myhairnose.com ReactJs's application and then it checks to see if the route has webpage. Otherwise say if I went to www.myhairynose.com/asdkjaskldsaj (which the react route doesn't have) it should display a 404.
______TLDR______
Basically what I want to happen:
User goes to website.com/name
>if website.com/name exists in django - it returns a html doc
>if not then it redirects to website.com/ where ReactJs will handle the url and see if it matches any of the routers
...> if it does, then it displays that route
...> if not then it displays a django 404 or a custom 404 page.
How do I configure django and reactjs to do this?
Are you using Django to render react? I am making the assumption that you have some view like views.LoadReactView.
What you need is a catch all route.
from django.contrib import admin
from myapp import views
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^admin', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^', views.LoadReactView.as_view()),
]
This should appear as your very last pattern. You essentially are saying "after checking all the other routes, if there are no matches, go here".
In addition, you could also actually just define your main view as your 404 handler
urlpatterns = [
...
]
handler404 = views.LoadReactView.as_view
I just installed flat pages app for django and trying to create a flat pages from admin .
So after I create a page in admin there is an option view on site and when I click on it I am getting Page not found
what am I missing?When I set my name to /pages/overview/ I still get page not found
You have configured the pages URLs with a prefix of ^pages/, which means you need to add that prefix to your request URL. E.g., for a page that you have configured as /help/overview/, you would access it from http://localhost:8000/pages/help/overview/.
You either need to request all your page URLs with a /pages/ prefix, or use one of the other methods described in the documentation:
You can also set it up as a “catchall” pattern. In this case, it is important to place the pattern at the end of the other urlpatterns:
from django.contrib.flatpages import views
# Your other patterns here
urlpatterns += [
url(r'^(?P<url>.*/)$', views.flatpage),
]
Another common setup is to use flat pages for a limited set of known pages and to hard code the urls, so you can reference them with the url template tag:
urlpatterns += [
url(r'^about-us/$', views.flatpage, {'url': '/about-us/'}, name='about'),
url(r'^license/$', views.flatpage, {'url': '/license/'}, name='license'),
]
Finally you can also use the FlatPageFallbackMiddleware.
Hi thanks for looking into this.
I have been following Django's tutorial on URLs and got a bit confused/stuck on this part:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/#decoupling-the-urlconfs
what I do not understand is if, say, on page mypage.com I provide only 2 possible URLs for mypage.com/polls and mypage.com/admin, what happens if the user goes to mypage.com? Obviously, I thought, the user will need to see some sort of 'welcome' page so I decided to add another URL to that urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^/', 'myapp.views.welcome'), #when it's just mysite.com
url(r'^myapp/', include('myapp.urls')), #includes everything with mysite.com/myapp/...
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
But then I get redirected to that welcome view from whichever page, whether i go to /myapp or not. So, I decided to create a views.py file outside myapps folder and put that welcome page there, and it seems to have worked, apart from that I get a 404.
I am so confused! Could you explain in lamers' terms please
Thanks,
blargie-bla
It should be
url(r'^$', 'myapp.views.welcome')
otherwise any URL will match the pattern. Django will call the view for the first pattern in urlpatterns that matches, so you need to be specific and include the end-of-the-line character ($) into the pattern.
I'm trying to use django-cms app hooks in a different way. I have only an app, with different website pages. For each page, i created an AppHook, since i want to have control of all of them with the cms.
To do that, inside the app, i did a package, with urls.py file for each of the page, example:
/urls
/home_urls.py
/portfolio_urls.py
/contacts_urls.py
Here are the definition of some app hooks:
class WebsiteHome(CMSApp):
name = _("cms-home")
urls = ["website.urls.home_urls"]
apphook_pool.register(WebsiteHome)
class WebsiteServices(CMSApp):
name = _("cms-services")
urls = ["website.urls.services_urls"]
apphook_pool.register(WebsiteServices)
Anyway, the problem is: i don't have any control on the regular expressions. Each one, is entering on the first regular expression that it founds, in this case, the urlpattern in the
website.urls.home_urls
Despite, having different apphHooks.
Example:
if i write a slug contacts (that has an apphook to WebsiteContacts), it still goes to the home_urls.py file, associated with the WebsiteHome (app hook).
Did anyone had a similiar problem?
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that it's something wrong with the regular expression. I can't make:
url(r'^$', [...]),
only:
url(r'^', [...]),
If I put the '$', it doesn't enter on any regex. If I take it, it enters always on the
website.urls.home_urls.py
Despite the slugs having different Apphooks, associated with different urls.py files.
Have you tried r'^/$'? I'm using r'^/?$' in some app-hook urls, but I wonder if r'^$' is failing for you because of a '/'?
As you've defined each of those URL files as individual app hooks in CMS then they'll each get attached to a certain page in the CMS e.g.
www.mysite.com/home
www.mysite.com/contacts
www.mysite.com/services
etc
Because those URL files are attached to pages this should prevent conflict between urlpatterns. For example, I've got an URLs file attached to a CMS app called News which looks like this;
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^(?P<slug>[-_\w]+)/$', NewsDetailView.as_view(), name='news_detail'),
url(r'^$', NewsListView.as_view(), name='news_list'),
)
Which is attached to a page at mysite.com/news so if I go to mysite.com/news/myslug I hit that NewsDetailView and if I go to mysite.com/news I hit NewListView.
Using this example, if you had a slug for a contact you'd go to mysite.com/contacts/contact-slug to hit that NewsDetailView.
And just a sidenote on the urlpatterns in case you're not aware, the ^ in the regex signifies the start of a pattern to match, and the $ signifies the end. URL dispatcher docs
I'm quite new to Django and I'm enjoying it a lot. I have broken my app's views into different files and placed them in a directory called app/views/(view files).
I have made an __init__.py file in the views directory this has caused me to have to use myproj.app.views.views in my site code. Which of coarse not very digestible.
Any ideas around this. Or is renaming my views directory to something else the way forward.
Thanks.
Just import the views from the other modules in __init__.py.
My user profile app account has three views files: views.py, views_login.py, and views_profile.py. Maybe it's not the cleanest, but it separates the three parts of account pretty well for my needs. My apps/account/urls.py therefore looks like this:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^foo1$', 'apps.account.views.foo1'),
(r'^foo2$', 'apps.account.views.foo2'),
(r'^bar1$', 'apps.account.views_login.bar1'),
(r'^bar2$', 'apps.account.views_login.bar2'),
(r'^baz1$', 'apps.account.views_profile.baz1'),
(r'^baz2$', 'apps.account.views_profile.baz2'),
)
