My view's function are not called by urls.py patterns. I can only call them explicitly.
Basic Layout is
--project
----persons
----project
project/urls.py is:
from django.conf.urls import url, include, patterns
from .views import page #irrelevant
# from persons import views as person_views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w./-]+)/$', page, name='page'), #irrelevant
url(r'^$', page, name='homepage'), #irrelevant
url(r'^persons/', include('persons.urls', namespace='persons')), # WORKS
# url(r'^persons/$', person_views.persons, name='persons'), #wont work
# url(r'^persons/add/$', person_views.add_person, name='add_person'), #wont work
)
Everything is ok until this point, since persons.urls is included successfully... But inside:
persons/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
#from persons.views import index_persons, add_person
from persons import views
#views.index_persons('GET / HTTP/1.0') # >>> WORKS - function called <<< !!!
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'.', views.index_persons, name='index_persons'), # DOES NOT WORK
url(r'^add/', views.add_person, name='add_person'), # DOES NOT WORK
)
I have also tried other regex like:
url(r'*', views.index_persons, name='index_persons'), # DOES NOT WORK
url(r'^$', views.index_persons, name='index_persons'), # DOES NOT WORK
no luck...
My persons/views.py file contains:
def index_persons(request):
print 'WHY???'
def add_person(request):
print 'WHY???'
'WHY???' is normally printed in the console (stdout - since I execute from manage.py runserver), when the index_persons function is called explicitly from persons/urls.py
Any thoughts?
In project/urls.py, move the page url pattern below the other ones. Otherwise, a request to /persons/ will be matched by the page url pattern first.
url(r'^$', page, name='homepage'),
url(r'^persons/', include('persons.urls', namespace='persons')),
url(r'^(?P<slug>[\w./-]+)/$', page, name='page'),
Inside persons/urls.py, you should have:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.index_persons, name='index_persons'),
url(r'^add/$', views.add_person, name='add_person'),
)
Your url rule should be
url(r'^/?$, views.index_persons, name='index_persons'),
NOTE 1: Don't forget to restart the server.
NOTE 2: namespace='persons' is equal to not set namespace, because your url is persons/ is the same.

I have setup a django-oscar project and I'm trying to configure the URLs. My goal is to change /catalogue to /catalog.
As per the documentation I've added app.py in myproject/app.py
myproject/app.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from oscar import app
class MyShop(app.Shop):
# Override get_urls method
def get_urls(self):
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^catalog/', include(self.catalogue_app.urls)),
# all the remaining URLs, removed for simplicity
# ...
]
return urlpatterns
application = MyShop()
myproject/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from . import views
from .app import application
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'', application.urls),
url(r'^index/$',views.index, name = 'index'),
]
The project server runs without any error, but when I try localhost:8000/catalog I get
NoReverseMatch at /catalog/ 'customer' is not a registered namespace.
The expected output is localhost:8000/catalog should return the catalogue page.
You can try this
in app.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from oscar import app
class MyShop(app.Shop):
# Override get_urls method
def get_urls(self):
urls = [
url(r'^catalog/', include(self.catalogue_app.urls)),
# all the remaining URLs, removed for simplicity
# ...
]
urls = urls + super(MyShop,self).get_urls()
return urls
application = MyShop()
And in your urls.py
you can simply add this
from myproject.app import application as shop
url(r'', shop.urls),
Hope it help for you
Expanding on c.grey's answer to specify how to replace instead of add the urls -
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from oscar import app
class MyShop(app.Shop):
def get_urls(self):
urls = super(MyShop, self).get_urls()
for index, u in enumerate(urls):
if u.regex.pattern == r'^catalogue/':
urls[index] = url(r'^catalog/', include(self.catalogue_app.urls))
break
return urls
application = MyShop()
You need to include the URLs, not reference them directly.
url(r'', include('application.urls')),
Main url file:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', include('myapp.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
My app url file:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mainapp import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.index),
url(r'^url1$', views.url1),
url(r'^url2$', views.url2)
)
When I go to "/", it shows the views.index from my app fine. However, it says "Page not found (404)" for url1 and url2.
Using the URLconf defined in myproject.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^$
^admin/
The current URL, url1, didn't match any of these.
What's up with that?
You are matching '^$', which is an empty string, so your other urls are not called.
Try:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^', include('myapp.urls'))
)
Note that I changed the ordering. This is so that myapp will never override other, more specific urls like admin.
r'^url1$'
^ means start here;
$ means end here.
so, it is an empty string. it does not make sense to put anything between like you did ^ ... $.
how about to try: r'^$', 'views.url1'),
?
I have a URL that does not work, for some reason. I get a 404, "'new' could not be found". Here is my urls.py:
url(r'^assets/new', 'watershed.views.new_asset', name='new_asset'),
There is a lot more in my urls.py but this is the ONLY one that contains the word, "assets" in it. If I change this url to anything/new, it works. If i misspell assets (assettss/new), it works. If I take out the /new and just use "assets", it also works fine. In my views folder I have an __ init __.py which contains the following:
from groups import *
from members import *
from leave_group import *
from payments import *
from assets import *
I also have an assets.py, which contains the following:
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from watershed.models import Member, Org, OrgToMember, Asset
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def new_asset(request):
return render(request, 'asset_add.html')
I have no idea what Django does not like about assets/new.
UPDATE: Here is my full urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^', include('outside.urls')),
url(r'^blog', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^logout', 'watershed.views.logout', name='logout'),
url(r'^register/create', 'watershed.views.create', name='create'),
url(r'^register', 'watershed.views.register', name='register'),
url(r'^translog/(\d+)', 'watershed.views.translog', name='translog'),
url(r'^settings', 'watershed.views.settings', name='settings'),
# Group URIs
url(r'^groups/(\d+)/leave', 'watershed.views.leave_group', name='leave_group'),
url(r'^groups/(\d+)/dissolve', 'watershed.views.dissolve_group', name='dissolve_group'),
url(r'^groups/new', 'watershed.views.add_group_form', name='add_group_form'),
url(r'^groups/(\d+)', 'watershed.views.dashboard', name='dashboard'),
url(r'^groups/add', 'watershed.views.add_group', name='add_group'),
url(r'^groups', 'watershed.views.groups', name='groups'),
# Member URIs
url(r'^members/(\d+)', 'watershed.views.profile', name='profile'),
url(r'^member/login', 'watershed.views.login', name='login'),
# Payments URIs
url(r'^payments', 'watershed.views.payments', name='payments'),
# Asset URIs
url(r'^assets/new', 'watershed.views.new_asset', name='new_asset'),
You new_assets function containts in assets.py file, buy you import this function from views.py file. Use this:
url(r'^assets/new', 'path.to.assets.new_asset', name='new_asset'),
I figured it out. The problem is that my static url in my settings.py is - wait for it:
STATIC_URL = '/assets/'
So, clearly, one of those must change.
I'm trying to change my project to use class based views, and I'm running into a strange error with my url conf
I have a classed based view:
class GroupOrTeamCreate(AjaxableResponseMixin, CreateView):
model = GroupOrTeam
fields = ['name', 'description']
#success_url = reverse('home_page') # redirect to self
I have the last line commented out because if I don't, django complains that there are no patterns in my url conf.
To start, here's my base urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='core/home.html'), name='home_page'),
url(r'^administration/', include('administration.urls', app_name='administration')),
url(r'^reports/', include('reports.urls', app_name='reports')),
url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
Clearly there are patterns in there. If I comment out the administration urls, it works. So I assume the problem is in there somewhere.
administration urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from .views import ActiveTabTemplateView, GroupOrTeamCreate, GroupOrTeamUpdate
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Add page
url(r'^add/$', ActiveTabTemplateView.as_view(template_name='administration/add.html'), name='add_page'),
url(r'^add/(?P<active_tab>\w+)/$', ActiveTabTemplateView.as_view(template_name='administration/add.html'),
name='add_page'),
# Seach page
url(r'^search/$', ActiveTabTemplateView.as_view(template_name='administration/search.html'), name='search_page'),
url(r'^search/(?P<active_tab>\w+)/$', ActiveTabTemplateView.as_view(template_name='administration/search.html'),
name='search_page'),
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Forms
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Groups and teams
url(r'^group-or-team-form/$', GroupOrTeamCreate.as_view(template_name='administration/forms/groups_form.html'),
name='group_or_team_form'),
url(r'^group-or-team-form/(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
GroupOrTeamUpdate.as_view(template_name='administration/forms/groups_form.html'),
name='group_or_team_form'),
)
I'm not seeing the problem.. these pages load just fine without that reverse statement in, it appears to be the introduction of the reverse statement that breaks everything but I can't for the life of me work out what the cause is.
You get the error because the URL conf has not been loaded yet when the class is defined.
Use reverse_lazy instead of reverse.
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy
success_url = reverse_lazy('home_page')
I'm new to django, and one of the things that I'm still learning is url_patterns. I set up a pages app to handle the root path (http://www.mysite.com) as well as some static pages such as the about page. I figured out how to set up the url pattern for the root path, but I can't get the site to direct the path '/about' to the pages "about" view.
Here is my main urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^$', 'pages.views.root'),
url(r'^/', include('pages.urls')),
)
here is my pages urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
urlpatterns = patterns('pages.views',
url(r'^about', 'about'),
)
Here is my pages views.py
# Create your views here.
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def root(request):
return render_to_response('pages/root.html',context_instance=RequestContext(request))
def about(request):
return render_to_response('pages/about.html',context_instance=RequestContext(request))
If I change the main urls.py file to have r'^a/', include('pages.urls') then the path '/a/about' directs to the about action.. so I think it has to be an issue in the way i'm writing the url pattern in this file. But, I can't figure out how to change it. Can anyone help?
Figured out what the issue is. The proper url_pattern on the project level is:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^$', 'pages.views.root'),
url(r'', include('pages.urls')),
)
When this is in place, '/about' and other simple paths direct properly.
Thanks everyone!
Try this, for url.py on the project level:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^$', 'apps_name.views.home', name='home'),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
# url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'^about/', include('about.urls')),
)
and then the url.py for the app about
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', direct_to_template, {"template": "about/about.html"}, name="about"),
)
Take into account that regular expression are evaluated from top to bottom, then if the path fits the regexp it will enter. To learn more about regexp google it or try the great book from Zed Shaw about regexps
Note that from Django version 2.0 the URL pattern has changed to use django.urls.path() Check Example here: link
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
# ex: /polls/
path('', views.index, name='index'),
# ex: /polls/5/
path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),
# ex: /polls/5/results/
path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),
# ex: /polls/5/vote/
path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),
]
About the url method:
url(r'^$', 'pages.views.root')
url is deprecated in Django 3.1, it's good to use re_path instead.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/urls/#s-url
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/ref/urls/#re-path
Note: The r'^$'pattern WON'T work with path function, and will give you a misleading error that the route could not be found.
You have to use re_path(r'^$', [etc]) every time you use a regular expression instead of a simple string in pattern.
