Linking of homePage view to other views - django

Question

I am trying to link my home page view to other views but it's not working
I also tried to take only a single view but it still not working
I also don't know how to connect multiple views into a single URL
app/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.shortcuts import redirect
from django.shortcuts import render
from homePage.forms import SignInForm,DropUsaMessage
# Create your views here.
def homePage(request):
sign_in_detail=SignIn
message_detail=DropUsaMessage
return render(request, "index.html",{"form":sign_in_detail,"forms":message_detail})
def SignIn(request):
sign_in_detail=SignInForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
sign_in_detail = SignInForm(request.POST)
if sign_in_detail.is_valid():
return render(request, "index2.html",{"form":sign_in_detail})
else:
sign_in_detail = SignInForm()
# "form":sign_in_detail
return render(request, "index.html",{})
def Contact(request):
message_detail=DropUsaMessage()
if request.method == 'POST':
message_detail = DropUsaMessage(request.POST)
if message_detail.is_valid():
return homePage(request)
else:
message_detail = DropUsaMessage()
# "forms":message_detail
return render(request, "index.html",{"forms":message_detail})
app/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views

path('', views.homePage),
]
app/forms.py
from django import forms

Answer 1

Give names to your URL patterns like below:
urlpatterns=[
path('', views.homePage, name='home'),
]
Then in your templates you can use Jinja to reference these names like.
Home
You can get a little help from DjangoProject site tutorial with the link.
UPDATE:
You need to create a Navbar (Navigation bar). You can then call all your pages with URLS in your home page. Like
Home | Services | Portfolio
You need to create urlpatterns with name for each page and you can then use it like.
<ul><li>Home</li>
<ul><li>Services</li>
<ul><li>Portfolio</li>.
So then all the pages will link up to your home page and you can navigate.
For that you need to create 3 respective views like below in your urls.py:
urlpatterns=[
path('', views.homePage, name='home'),
path('services/', views.servicePage, name='services'),
path('portfolio/', views.portfolioPage, name='portfolio'),
]

Answer 2

You can not have multiple views on a single URL. One URL maps to a single view.
