NoReverseMatch at /

Question

I am trying to make pretty meaningful urls, but I guess I\'m doing it wrong.

This works:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
from places.         


        

Answer 1

This line:

url(r'(?P<countryorcategory>[0-9A-Za-z._%+-]+)', explore_view, name='explore')

...is defining an url that takes an argument countryorcategory in the template. You need to put an argument on your url either of the following in your template:

{% url 'explore' argument %}
{% url 'explore' countryorcategory=argument %}

If you want to continue to use non-argument urls with the same name, you can define additional urls with the same name but with different patterns. For example:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'(?P<countryorcategory>[0-9A-Za-z._%+-]+)', explore_view, name='explore'),
    url(r'', explore_view, name='explore'),
)

Then {% url 'explore' %} should work both with and without an argument.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you are using a template with something like this :

 {% url 'explore' argument %}

And this error probably means that the argument is not set to anything.

Answer 3

For me, I forgot the namespace of the Route. Instead of

{% url 'login' %}

I should have written

{% url 'accounts:login' %}

with this configuration:

# root URLs
url(r'^accounts/', include('myproject.accounts.accounts.urls', namespace='accounts'))

# accounts URLs
url(r'^login$', views.login, name='login')
