Url problem

[VilleP]

Hi guys!

I've got a little problem with my url "generating". Everytime I try to run my testserver and move through pages, that I've linked there it goes like this:

http://testserver.local/home #(this is totally fine)

(click on another page)

http://testserver.local/home/page1

(click on another page besides home)

http://testserver.local/home/page1/page2

(if I click again to previous by clicking menu button it goes like this)

http://testserver.local/home/page1/page2/page1

page1, etc. are examples here which helps me to present the problem.

Any help for this one? I'll paste my urls.py and views.py below:

from django.conf.urls import url

from sivusto import views

urlpatterns = [

url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

url(r'^tekninen.html/$', views.tekninen, name='tekninen'), #(this would be page1)

url(r'^johdon_tyokalut.html/$', views.johdon_tyokalut, name='johdon_tyokalut'), #(this would be page2)

]

from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):

return render(request, 'sivusto/index.html',) #(homepage)

def tekninen(request):

return render(request, 'sivusto/tekninen.html',) #(page1)

def johdon_tyokalut(request):

return render(request, 'sivusto/johdon_tyokalut.html',) #(page2)

This is the main main urls.py, if it helps:

from django.conf.urls import include, url

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [

    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

url(r'^sivusto/', include('sivusto.urls', namespace="sivusto")),

]

Thank you very much in advance, I know this sounds like a noob problem but that's pretty much what I'm dealing with here :D

This is happening because your site is generating links using a short relative path (href='page1'). Are you generating URL paths using the Django methods such as reverse() and {% url %}?

Can you provide an example of a problematic {% url %} tag from your template, and the generated HTML on the browser for that same anchor?

Based on the urls.py files you posted, the behavior you describe shouldn't be possible. Is this behavior seen using the dev server, or using a production server like Apache?

Thanks James for your quick answer, the problem occurred on dev server as I haven't deployed the site yet. But I figured out how to fix this, which was suitable for everybody. Just used multiple apps, instead of one.

Thanks a lot :)
