NoReverseMatch when trying to use get_absolute_url with custom template tag
Will Holmes
I am making a calendar app which has a custom template tag that takes the python HTML template function and overlays objects from the Events model on the correct days. I am trying to get the displayed objects to have a link directly to an object detail/edit view and am trying to use get_absolute_url and to reverse render this view. This is necessary as the custom template tag doesn't load correctly if I try to hardcode {% url %} template tags into it for each event via a for loop. I have spent some hours looking through stack overflow questions with no luck and have even changed my reverse to the object ID rather than the title of the event. I am hoping this is just a small thing that I have overlooked but no sure.
view:
def home(request, month=None, year=None):
if month == None:
_date = datetime.now()
else:
_date = date(int(year), int(month), 1)
title = "%s, %s" % (_date.strftime("%B"), _date.strftime("%Y"))
return render(request, 'calendar.html', calendar(_date, title))url:
app_name = 'cal'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.home, name='home'),
url(r'^newevent/$', views.newEvent, name='newevent'),
url(r'^(?P<id>\d+)$/', views.viewEvent, name='viewevent'),
url(r'^(?P<month>\d+)/(?P<year>\d+)$', views.home, name='another-month')
]HTML:
<div>
{% load calendarify %}
<span id="calendarify">{% calendarify year month event_list %}</span>
</div>Template tag relevant function:
def formatday(self, day, weekday):
if day != 0:
cssid = self.cssclasses[weekday]
cssclass = "daybox"
if date.today() == date(self.year, self.month, day):
cssid += ' today'
if day in self.events:
cssid += ' filled'
body = ['<ul>']
for event in self.events[day]:
body.append('<li>')
body.append('<a href="%s">' % event.get_absolute_url())
body.append(esc(event.title))
body.append('</a></li>')
body.append('</ul>')
return self.day_cell(
cssclass, cssid, '<span class="dayNumber">%d</span> %s' % (
day, ''.join(body)))
return self.day_cell(
cssclass, cssid, '<span class="dayNumberNoReadings">%d</span>' % (day))
return self.day_cell('nodaybox', 'noday', ' ')
Model:
class Events(models.Model):

def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('cal:viewEvent', args=[str(self.id)], current_app='cal')Sorry about the load of code posted. Any chance anyone knows what might have caused this issue?
