Problem with URL configuration - cannot use absolute URLs in my case

[Rohit Banga]

Hi

I have a website at example.com/mywebsite. All URL requests directed to this URL are directed to my app.

Now I have the following project structure

   mywebsiteroot/

      -- myapp/

           -- manage.py

           -- myapp/

                 --templates/

                 --settings.py

                 --models.py

                 --views.py

When my base.html template includes a link "mylink" which shows some information.

On the home page this works fine. my django app receives a URL request for example.com/mywebsite/mylink which I serve using base.html template.

Now I extend the base.html template elsewhere in another view mylink/<some_integer>.

In that view the link points to example.com/mywebsite/mylink/mylink which is obviously wrong. If I use an absolute link /mylink; I get a request at example.com/mylink and not example.com/mywebsite/mylink which is also wrong.

So how do I code my url conf / view / template in order to be independent of mywebsite name.

Is there anything wrong with the way I am wiring up my application.

Thanks in Advance!

Take a look at the docs for:

URL reversing: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#reverse-resolution-of-urls

Naming URLs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#naming-url-patterns

These links point to the in-development version of the docs. This is because
there has been a refactor lately to make presentation of these concepts more
clear and because there hasn't been significant changes in this functionality
since Django 1.4.

hi,

try to user url name instead of using hard coded url link. it may solve your problem.
