about tutorial

[Alan]

Hi, so I did the tutorial and did a simple modification in order to
get 'polls' views and 'admin' view too but I am failing.

It's that:

for mysite/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
(r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
)

But, if so, then admin pages failed (http://localhost:8000/admin/):
TemplateSyntaxError at /admin/
Caught an exception while rendering: Tried vote in module
mysite.polls.views. Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'vote'
...

If I want 'admin' view, then I have to comment out line "(r'^polls/',
include('mysite.polls.urls')),"

Well, I must confess that my knowledge on regexp is limited. So, in
the end, what should I do about mysite/urls.py in order to get both
admin and polls pages working?

Many thanks in advance,

Alan

I strongly suspect an error in either your polls.urls module or your
polls.views module. It seems you're trying to access some unexisting
symbol of the polls.views module (a view function perhaps ?) named
'vote'.

first make sure the whole thing works correctly without the admin
part.

In fact I found the problem. If I had finished part 4 of the tutorial I would have any issue. Method 'vote' is created there and now everything works fine.

Sorry for being hurry.

Cheers,

Alan
