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.

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),
from django.conf.urls import url
from .import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index,name='index'),
url(r'^About/', views.About,name='About'),
url(r'^checkout/', views.checkout,name='checkout'),
url(r'^contact', views.contact,name='contact'),
url(r'^faqs', views.faqs,name='faqs'),
url(r'^help', views.help,name='help'),
url(r'^icons', views.icons,name='icons'),
url(r'^payment', views.payment,name='payment'),
url(r'^privacy', views.privacy,name='privacy'),
]
The error message:
Page not found (404)
Request Method:
GET
Request URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/About.html
Using the URLconf defined in shop.urls, Django tried these URL patterns,
in this order:
admin/
^$ [name='index']
^about/$ [name='about']
^checkout/$ [name='checkout']
^contact/$ [name='contact']
^static\/(?P<path>.*)$
The current path, About.html, didn't match any of these.
This kind of an error could occur from 2 or 3 different scenarios.
In your case, you seem to put the wrong URL in the browser address bar.
Your correct URL should be http://127.0.0.1:8000/About (as you've written in the URL patterns).
Remember, About.html - is the HTML template you create inside the templates folder. Even though you route to the html page (with a string like: app_name/About.html) - the actual URL in the address bar will be according to what you write in the regex path r'^url_name'. If you write r'^About.html' in url patterns, then http://127.0.0.1:8000/About.html should work perfectly.
The second scenario (based on my experience) which could produce this type of an error is when you forget to pass the 'request' argument inside the method that defines view of the URL - in the respective views.py file.
You should be having a method named About which would look like this in views.py
def About(request):
return render(request,'app_name/About.html')
If you forget to pass argument in the paranthesis of About, this kind of an error could occur.
Finally, if you are using django 2, please start using re_path method to serve regex url patterns. The url method is likely to be depracated in future release.
Refer re_path documentation.
your URL will not be http://127.0.0.1:8000/About.html it will just be http://127.0.0.1:8000/about (remember urls are case insensitive), this will take you to your view which is named About, in your view you should reference your template in its render (about.html)
have you read the my first Django app https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/ its a great place to start if you are unfamiliar with how django operates
What you are trying to hit is not a valid url, you have to hit http://127.0.0.1:8000/About as written in urls.py.
You have to understand the difference between urls and html templates, this About.html would be used in views while rendering like:
return render(request, 'your_app/about.html')
And for sure you can write a url if you want like this:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index,name='index'),
url(r'^About.html/', views.About,name='About'),
.
.
]
Check the documentation
The url which you provide in url ( ) method doesn't contain any suffix of .html
You can goto the about page directly by /About
The index site on my Django homepage stopped working because of a problem that will take a very long time to fix. The site can't be down for that long so I am trying to change the index site so that if you go to the primary url you will atleast end up on the website.
What I have done is change the urls.py file in the primary application, where I simply replaced the line
url(r'^', include('news.urls', namespace='news')),
to
url(r'^', include('events.urls', namespace='events')),
in the urlpatterns list, where news is the faulty page and events is the page that I want to be shown. However, after pushing this to live nothing changed, and for some reason my local Django development server is not working.
Did I do anything wrong, or is there anything else I have to do as well?
Thanks.
In the events app make sure you have a URL such as
......
url(r'^$', views.EventsIndex.as_view(), name='index'),
......
Replacing news.urls with events.urls may cause problems, if there are views/templates that try to reverse news urls. It would be better to leave the include as it is, and add a new URL pattern above that for the index:
from events.views import home
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', home, name='home'),
url(r'^', include('news.urls', namespace='news')),
...
]
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'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
