Tango with Django Chapter 7 (Add_page)

[Amimo Benja]

Hey all,

Am currently practicing using this tutorial http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/forms.html, but I'm constantly getting this error "The current URL, rango/category//add_page/, didn't match any of these." every time I click on the Add a Page link in the Category.html. I don't know how to solve it. Any help? Thanks.

Here are my 

1. Views.py http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3595121

2. rango/urls.py http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3595145

3. add_page.html http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3595156

4. category.html http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3595158

try to change
<a href="/rango/category/{{ category_name_url }}/add_page/">Add a Page</a>
to
<a href="url {% 'views:category_name_url' %}/add_page/">Add a Page</a>
Many thanks,

Serge

It seems not to be working. It raises an error that Invalid block tag: ''views:category_name_url''

Noob here so I may be way wrong but it looks to me like your problem is probably in link in category page when generating the link to add_page, given the url in the error is missing the category name in the URL. Have you passed category_name_url from your view function to the category template? Your views.py link seems to show forms.py rather than the view functions so I cant see the view, but my category view looks as follows and works:

 def category(request, category_name_url):

context = RequestContext(request)

category_name = decode_url(category_name_url)

context_dict = {'category_name': category_name, 'category_name_url': category_name_url}

try:

category = Category.objects.get(name=category_name)

pages = Page.objects.filter(category=category)

context_dict['pages'] = pages

context_dict['category'] = category

except Category.DoesNotExist:

pass

return render_to_response('rango/category.html', context_dict, context)

And I am also mid way through Tango with Django if you hadn't guessed ;-)

Thanks Lee, it worked. The problem was I had not passed category_name_url from my view function to the category template. The moment I passed it, it worked without any problem. Thanks a lot Man. At least I can proceed. Phee...w!!! Thanks again.

No problem at all, glad it worked out for you :-)

Good luck with the rest of the tutorial

Cheers

Hi Lee,

I have been continuing with the django tutorials and at the moment I am on chapter 10 dealing with cookies.

On the exercises when a user logs in and clicks the about page link, mine just shows he visited the site 1 time no matter how many times he clicks on the about page. Is it supposed to be so or am I missing something?
