Django is not showing the right path when clicking on a link - django

Question

This is what it shows when you click on the link
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET Request URL:
http://localhost:8000/jobapplication/new/1
Using the URLconf defined in careal.urls, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order:
^$ [name='landing-index']
^admin/
^accounts/
^taskmanager/
^login/$ [name='login']
The problem is that I don't know why it is opening the link as http://localhost:8000/jobapplication/new/1, when it should be http://localhost:8000/taskmanager/jobapplication/new/1
This is what I have in the urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from landingpage import views as landingpage_views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', landingpage_views.index, name='landing-index'),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
url(r'^taskmanager/', include('taskmanager.urls')),
url(r'^login/$', auth_views.login, name='login'),
]
This is in urls.py in the app taskmanager
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
from taskmanager.views import *
app_name = 'taskmanager'
urlpatterns = [
# Task manager urls
url(r'^$', JobApplicationIndex.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'jobapplication/add/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationCreate.as_view(), name='jobapplication-add'),
url(r'jobapplication/new/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.JobApplicationAdd, name='jobapplication-new'),
url(r'jobapplication/edit/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.JobApplicationEdit, name='jobapplication-edit'),
url(r'jobapplication/edit/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationUpdate.as_view(), name='jobapplication-edit'),
url(r'^jobapplication/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationDetails.as_view(), name='jobapplication-detail'),
# Company urls
url(r'company/$', CompanyIndex.as_view(), name='company-index'),
url(r'company/add/$', CompanyCreate.as_view(), name='company-add'),
url(r'^company/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', CompanyDetails.as_view(), name='company-detail'),
# Job Post urls
url(r'jobpost/$', JobPostIndex.as_view(), name='jobpost-index'),
url(r'^jobpost/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobPostDetails.as_view(), name='jobpost-detail'),
# Statistics urls
url(r'^kpi/$', views.kpi, name='kpi'),
]
And this is what I have in views.py in taskmanager, related to jobapplication
# Job Application views
class JobApplicationIndex(generic.ListView):
template_name = 'taskmanager/jobapplication_index.html'
def get_queryset(self):
if self.request.user.is_authenticated:
return JobApplication.objects.filter(user=self.request.user.id).order_by('-created_at')
class JobApplicationCreate(CreateView):
model = JobApplication
fields = ['jobpost', 'sent_date', 'deadline', 'success_rate']
def get_initial(self):
jobpost = get_object_or_404(JobPost, id=self.kwargs.get('jobpost_id'))
return {
'jobpost':jobpost,
}
def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.user = self.request.user
return super(JobApplicationCreate, self).form_valid(form)
class JobApplicationDetails(generic.DetailView):
model = JobApplication
class JobApplicationEdit(UpdateView):
model = JobApplication
#fields = ['jobpostid', 'is_favorite']
#p = JobApplication.objects.get(id=jobpostid)
#p.is_favorite = is_favorite
#p.save()
class JobApplicationUpdate(UpdateView):
model = JobApplication
fields = ['sent_date', 'deadline', 'success_rate']
template_name_suffix = '_update_form'
def JobApplicationAdd(request, jobpost_id):
if request.method == 'GET' and request.user.is_authenticated:
# If job app for this id exists, redirect to that job app page with a message
if JobApplication.objects.filter(jobpost_id=int(jobpost_id)).exists():
existing = JobApplication.objects.get(jobpost_id=int(jobpost_id))
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO, 'An application for this opening already exists.')
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('taskmanager:jobapplication-detail', args=[existing.id]))
jobapp = JobApplication(user=request.user, jobpost_id=int(jobpost_id), success_rate=50)
jobapp.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('taskmanager:index'))
--- The thing is all the other links in taskmanager work and when you click on them, the right path is opened Eg: -
- http://localhost:8000/taskmanager/jobpost/
- http://localhost:8000/taskmanager/jobpost/2/
- http://localhost:8000/taskmanager/company/2/
- http://localhost:8000/taskmanager/kpi/

Try Adding an uptick in front of the regex patterns like you did for the ones that are working.
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
from taskmanager.views import *
app_name = 'taskmanager'
urlpatterns = [
# Task manager urls
url(r'^$', JobApplicationIndex.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'^jobapplication/add/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationCreate.as_view(), name='jobapplication-add'),
url(r'^jobapplication/new/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.JobApplicationAdd, name='jobapplication-new'),
url(r'^jobapplication/edit/(?P<jobpost_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.JobApplicationEdit, name='jobapplication-edit'),
url(r'^jobapplication/edit/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationUpdate.as_view(), name='jobapplication-edit'),
url(r'^jobapplication/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobApplicationDetails.as_view(), name='jobapplication-detail'),
# Company urls
url(r'^company/$', CompanyIndex.as_view(), name='company-index'),
url(r'^company/add/$', CompanyCreate.as_view(), name='company-add'),
url(r'^company/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', CompanyDetails.as_view(), name='company-detail'),
# Job Post urls
url(r'^jobpost/$', JobPostIndex.as_view(), name='jobpost-index'),
url(r'^jobpost/(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$', JobPostDetails.as_view(), name='jobpost-detail'),
# Statistics urls
url(r'^kpi/$', views.kpi, name='kpi'),
]
