I am trying to find a way to display my django login page when the user ask for an unwanted url? Which syntax should I user ?
As of today I have
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^login' , 'database.views.index', name='login'),
url(r'^create-user/' , 'database.views.account_creation', name='create_user'),
url(r'^get-details/' , 'database.views.get_details', name='get-details'),
url(r'^upload-csv' , 'database.views.upload_csv', name='upload_csv'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
#url(r'^' , 'database.views.index', name='login'),
)
I would like that if a user ask for a crazy url, it would be directed to the login url (ie view.index function).
Any idea ?
Without commenting on whether you should do this, Django will attempt to match your url patterns in order. So if you want a fall-through / catch-all handler, put this last:
url(r'^.*', 'database.views.index', name='unmatched')

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'),
?
Wondering if I could get some help with a second pair of eyes. Started working Django about two months ago learning in my spare time. Long story short: My index and post view work fine. I recently created a contact html\template and view which looks like it goes right back to my index page? Here is my project urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from .settings import MEDIA_ROOT
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^contact/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
Here is my app urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from blog import views
urlpatterns = patterns('blog.views',
url(r'^(?P<post_name>\w+)/$', views.post, name='post'),
url(r'^contact/$', views.contact, name='contact'),
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
)
If I change my contact view to come up as my default the view it comes up fine.
urlpatterns = patterns('blog.views',
url(r'^(?P<post_name>\w+)/$', views.post, name='post'),
url(r'^$', views.contact, name='contact'),
#url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
)
As soon as switch it back to the original state when I click on the contact link on my page it goes right to my index page. I have to be doing something wrong with the URL dispatcher part but I'm not sure what.
Your contact urlpattern is not matching the URL "/contact", it is matching "/blog/contact" and "/contact/contact". Since you've included the blogs urlpatterns under both those prefixes, the thing that matches "/contact" is the URL without anything after the prefix, ie the index.
You probably don't want to put the contact pattern into the included file at all: just match it directly in the base project file.
Please mind the order of the urls in your app's urls.py. Try to put your views.contact view before your views.post view. Keep in mind: Django chooses the first matching regular expression, which is your views.post view.
I ran into a similar problem and described the solution here.
Here your contact view has the url /contact/contact/ and index view has the url /contact/
So you have rewrite the project urls as
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from .settings import MEDIA_ROOT
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
i am learning django by using django 1.6 documents tutorial 1 - 6.
this round is my 4th try and, previous 3 try was successful and i understand more on every try.
i am in tutorial 3 now, to create views.
according to the documents, after i created a view, i need to map it to a URL.
so i follow the documents to add a urls.py in the polls directory.
and then i follow the document to add include() to mysite/urls.py
i am able to so called wired an index view into the polls view.
now if i go back to localhost:8000, i get an error page,
so my question is
1) WHY?
2) how to get back my localhost:8080 index page co-exist with the polls index page?
thank you very much everyone for your time. i am new and sorry for so simple question.
thank you.
updated:
this is my urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
)
this is my polls/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from polls import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index')
)
the error msg is:
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^admin/
^polls/
The current URL, , didn't match any of these.
http://localhost:8000 index page will be displayed when you created a project (mysite). After creating an application and including it in installed apps in settings.py, you will no longer view the index page of the project, rather your admin page of the application (polls) will be visible at http://localhost:8000/admin
And if you had created any views with the following patterns in polls/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^blog/$', views.blog, name='blog'),
)
You need to visit http://localhost:8000/polls for your index page and http://localhost:8000/polls/blogs for your poll blogs page
Editing my answer for step by step approach:
create index.html at polls/templates/polls directory.
in polls/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def pollindex(request):
return render_to_response('polls/index.html', context_instance=RequestContext(request))
in polls/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^index/$', views.pollsindex, name='index'),
)
in your project/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
And now you can view your template index.html at http://localhost:8000/polls/index
Hello and thank you in advance,
When I installed django-profiles and django-registration. I believe I followed a tutorial correctly on how to configure them:
http://agiliq.com/books/djenofdjango/chapter5.html#reusable-apps
Now when I try to access website.com/accounts I get a 404 page:
Using the URLconf defined in acme_p.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^$
^accounts/
^admin/doc/
^admin/
The current URL, accounts, didn't match any of these.
My urls files look like this:
#acme_p urls - Django Project
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', include('user_prof.urls')),
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'acme_p.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^acme_p/', include('acme_p.foo.urls')),
# 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)),
)
user_prof urls.py - Django App one level below project mentioned above
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^login/$', 'auth.views.login_user'),
(r'^accounts/', include('registration.urls')),
# (r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.default.urls')),
)
Thank you for you help.
dp
(r'^accounts/', include('registration.urls')), should be in the root urls.py not the app urls.py
There is no website.com/account in the configuration, there is only website.com/account/(more) where (more) has the rest of the url that is given to the django-registration module. You could try website.com/account/login/ for example to check if the django-registration module is working.
Also you should just put those on the root urls.py file.
I have a basic splash page, and I am trying to redirect all urls to the splash EXCEPT for the thank you page (which is linked to after the email form is submitted).
How do I make it such that all my urls will redirect to the splash page with the exception of this one page? Currently, ALL of my urls are re-directing, even the exception. Here is my code:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^thanks/$', 'thanks'),
(r'^', 'index_redirect'),
Thank you.
In Django 1.3 you can use the redirect_to along with a pattern that matches everything.
from django.views.generic.simple import redirect_to
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'index'),
(r'^thanks/$', 'thanks'),
(r'^.*$', redirect_to, {'url': '/'}),
)
