Django - Incorporating new models with their own pages

I have managed to set up one model within my Django project and can create posts within it and display those posts through views and templates, however, I don't appear to be able to do the same with the new Models I've created. I have attempted to do this as I have done with the initial Model, which is to set up its own html files, just as the first one, as well as similar entries in urls.py in the main project folder and views.py in the app folder.
Edit for more context: Basically, the Article model has been set up with the templates article_detail.html and article_list.html and all of the entries within that model are pulled from the Admin app and are viewable. I have created another model, Offensive, and would also like to do the same as with the Article entries, so I attempted to copy what I had done and made the Offensive model it's own templates (offensive_detail.html and offensive_list.html:).
This does not appear to have worked, however. Creating a link for Offensive on base_template.html does not go anywhere, it just stays on the same page. Does not re-direct to the offensive details page that will show the list of offensive articles.
My intent is to have different categories aligned with different models and have all of those categories and corresponding pages as links within a navbar.
I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong, or even if I'm anywhere near right.
Help would be very much appreciated.
Here is the folder structure of my project

Your urls seem a bit out of sync. You've got articles.urls included twice and two matching patterns for 'r'^$'.
What you have:
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^articles/', include('articles.urls')),
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
url(r'^$', article_views.article_list, name="home"),
url(r'^offensive/', include('articles.urls')),
url(r'^$', article_views.offensive_list, name="offensive"),
What I think you might want:
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^articles/', include('articles.urls')),
url(r'^offensive/', include('offensive.urls')),
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
# pick one of the following that you want for the root url
# currently will match the first one.
url(r'^$', article_views.article_list, name="home"),
url(r'^$', article_views.offensive_list, name="offensive"),
Or if it is just models separating, put it all in one?
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^articles/', views.article_list, name="article_list"),
url(r"^articles/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$", views.article_detail, name="article_detail"),
url(r'^offensive/', views.offensive_list, name="offensive_list"),
url(r"^offensive/(?P<slug>[\w-]+)/$", views.offensive_detail, name="offensive_detail"),
url(r'^about/$', views.about),
url(r'^$', views.about, name="home"),
]
Also, you probably want to be using the newer Path, instead of the url (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/http/urls/#example)

Password reset not redirecting to template html file in django

I am trying to use a template html file for my password reset form. But it is not redirecting to my template file rather it is redirecting ti Django administration page. I don't want to use django administration page for resetting the password change link.
password_reset_form.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static %}
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>

</div>
<div class="container">
<form method="POST" action="{% url 'password_reset' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
{% buttons %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send confirmation mail</button>
{% endbuttons %}
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
app_name = 'registration'
urlpatterns = [
path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name="registration/login.html"), name='login'),
path('password_reset/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name="registration/password_reset_form.html"), name='password_reset'),
# path('password_reset/password_reset_done/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name="registration/password_reset_done.html"), name='password_reset_done'),
path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
path('signup/', views.EmployeeSignUp.as_view(), name='signup'),
]
views.py:
from django.contrib.auth import login, logout
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import(LoginRequiredMixin,
PermissionRequiredMixin)
from django.views.generic import (TemplateView,ListView,
DetailView,CreateView,
UpdateView,DeleteView)
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views import generic
from django.views.generic import CreateView
from . import forms
class EmployeeSignUp(CreateView):
"""

"""
form_class = forms.NewEmployeeRegistrationForm
success_url = reverse_lazy("login")
template_name = 'registration/signup.html'
class AdminView(TemplateView):
template_name = 'registration/admin.html'
project urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
# from django.contrib.auth import views
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.HomePage.as_view(), name='home'),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('about/', views.AboutView.as_view(), name='about'),
path('registration/', include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),
path('registration/', include('registration.urls', namespace='registration')),
# path('registration/password_reset', include('registration.urls', namespace='password_reset')),
# path('registration/password_reset_done', include('registration.urls', namespace='password_reset_done')),
]

Since you have specified a namespace, in the action attribute in password_reset_form.html, you have to first specify the name of the namespace the name of the view separated by a colon. You can find the appropriate documentation here
So you have to change password_reset_form.html to-
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static %}
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-9aIt2nRpC12Uk9gS9baDl411NQApFmC26EwAOH8WgZl5MYYxFfc+NcPb1dKGj7Sk" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Montserrat" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'employeeregistration/css/master.css' %}">
</head>
<body>
{% load bootstrap4 %}
<div class="container title">
<h2 style="text-align:center; padding-top:100px;">Reset your password</h2>
</div>
<div class="container">
<form method="POST" action="{% url 'registration:password_reset' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
{% buttons %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send confirmation mail</button>
{% endbuttons %}
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Also you have two paths in your root project urls.py which lead to the same url. So consider changing it to
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
# from django.contrib.auth import views
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.HomePage.as_view(), name='home'),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('about/', views.AboutView.as_view(), name='about'),
# path('registration/', include("django.contrib.auth.urls")),
path('registration/', include('registration.urls', namespace='registration')),
# path('registration/password_reset', include('registration.urls', namespace='password_reset')),
# path('registration/password_reset_done', include('registration.urls', namespace='password_reset_done')),
]
I have commented out one url pattern which might be causing the issue.

Django 2.0 - Not a valid view function or pattern name (Customizing Auth views)

I´m working on a course exercise and I'm stuck for a few hours and I'm not sure what is causing the app to break, next, you will find the files involved and perhaps you can find out the solution. Thanks for your help!

I appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!

You've set a namespace for your urls:
app_name = 'account'
You need to use that namespace when reversing urls with reverse/reverse_lazy or {% url %}:
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy('account:dashboard')
LOGIN_URL = reverse_lazy('account:login')
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = reverse_lazy('account:logout')

Perhaps when specifying {% url 'appname:views' %} you specified the wrong appname
For example, like:
wrong - {% url 'accuant:dashboard' %}
right - {% url 'account:dashboard' %}

Homepage in Django isn't working

I'm currently trying to create a homepage for Django, but when I test it, it just shows me a blank page with nothing on it. This is what I have so far. First is my URL page from mysite:
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'',include('firstapp.urls')),
]
and my url page from firstapp:
from django.conf.urls import url
from firstapp.views import HomePage
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', HomePage.as_view(), name='home'),
]
this is my views page:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
class HomePage(TemplateView):
template_name = 'home/home.html'
def home(request):
return render(request, self.template_name)
this is the base.html which extends to home.html
{% load staticfiles %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Home</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='{% static "css/base.css" %}'/>
</head>
<html>
<p>{{ variable }}</p>
<script src= '{% static "js/base.js" %}'></script>
</body>
</html>
And finally home.html itself.
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block body %}
<div class="container">
<p>Testing Home</p>
</div>
{% endblock %}
Now if it works, I should be seeing "Testing Home"...but...I see nothing. I just get an empty white page. Any idea why this is happening?

Your base.html doesn't have a {% block body %} defined anywhere in it. You need blocks to be defined in the template you're extending, otherwise you'll have nothing to override inside the extended template.
base.html
<html>
<body>
<p>{{ variable }}</p>
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
<script src= '{% static "js/base.js" %}'></script>
</body>
</html>
Note: I also fixed your opening <body> tag which you incorrectly had as <html>, leaving you with two <html> opening tags in your template.

NoReverseMatch at /home/ u'home' is not a registered namespace

urls.py:
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from home import views
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^home/$', views.Home, name="home"),
url(r'^services/$', views.Services),
url(r'^contact/$', views.Contact)
)
But when I remove the 'namespace="home"' section, I get a 'NoReverseMatch at /home/ u'home' is not a registered namespace'. I've chanted the code around many times, but it's always one of those two errors. The docs aren't much help.
home.html:
{% url 'home' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block doctype %}<!DOCTYPE HTML>{% endblock %}
{% load i18n %}
<html>
<head>
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}{% trans "name of website" %}</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
{% block meta_tags %}{% endblock %}
<noscript>

<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.dropotron.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/skel.min.js"></script>

<nav id="nav">
<ul>
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
{% endblock %}
</div>

The parameter is called name not namespace:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^home/$', views.Home, name="home"),
url(r'^services/$', views.Services, name="services"),
url(r'^contact/$', views.Contact, name="contact"),
)
And then in the template:
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>

namespace is not a valid url parameter, you need to use name keyword.
url(r'^home/$', views.Home, name="home"),
And then you can use {% url 'home' %} without problem.
