I have my url:
url(r'^home/', HomeQuestionView, name='home_question') ,
When I enter localhost:8000/home I get my homepage but what I want is when I just enter I get my homepage.
I mean I want to redirect to the above homepage url when user enters only my site likewww.xyz.com not www.xyz.com/home
I dont want to configure in this way
url(r'^', HomeQuestionView, name='home_question') ,
Thanx in advance
Use generic RedirectView:
from django.views.generic.base import RedirectView
url(r'^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/home/')),
I found this solution (long story short, you need to add views.py to your main project folder and make view which redirect your empty route to your url):
In your urls.py inside urlpatterns add this:
urlpatterns = [
...
path("", views.home, name="home"),
...
]
In main Django folder create views.py and import it in urls.py
example
In views.py add this code:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
def home(request):
return redirect("blog:index") # redirect to your page
Now every time your url will be empty like (localhost:8000) it will be redirected to (localhost:8000/your_adress). Also, you can use this not only with blank url, but anywhere you need this sort of redirection

I am doing this while watching a tutorial, and the same thing is working for him. Moreover, if mistakenly I write the wrong code and run, cmd shows the errors and on reloading the browser the server doesn't work more. Then I need to restart CMD and again run manage.py. Please tell me the reason and also the solution, Thanks.
What errors do you get?
Besides there're 2 urls' files: url routes for pages are inside urls.py in the same folder where views.py are. In another urls.py (the one which is in the same folder with manage.py) you may need to write following, assuming that 'polls' is the name of you application:
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
]
According to Django docs: include() function allows referencing other URLconfs. Whenever Django encounters include(), it chops off whatever part of the URL matched up to that point and sends the remaining string to the included URLconf for further processing.
You should always use include() when you include other URL patterns. admin.site.urls is the only exception to this.
If you still get the error: check that you’re going to http://localhost:8000/polls/ and not http://localhost:8000/
I have a problem with my project & I hope that you will help me figure it out.The main problem is that my project is a one-single page template, so I don't have so many views , but I want to know , how to redirect to my homepage
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from iubestete import views as iubestete_views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', iubestete_views.index),
url(r'^',iubestete_views.index,name="portal"),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
here is my urls.py file , which function should I import or what should I do? I mean, I want to know for example, if a person types "http://127.0.0.1:8000/adsnjiwadi/" ,how can I redirect that link to my homepage(index.html)?Thank you so much & I hope that you'll have a great day:) Peace:)
Your code url(r'^',iubestete_views.index,name="portal") in urls.py already catch all URL pattern, it will direct to your home page.
eg: http://127.0.0.1:8000/adsnjiwadi, http://127.0.0.1:8000/sfddasfdfaf/ddfsaf, etc. will go to your home page (index).
In your urls.py
url(r'^(?P<garbage>.*)/$', views.garbage,name='redirect')
In your views.py
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
def garbage(request, garbage):
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('index'))
This is is a hacky method. Anything other than your root url will return to index url.
I'm stuck with a Django project, I tried to add another app called login to make a login page but for some reason the page just redirects to the homepage except for the admin page
For example: 127.0.0.1:8000 will go to the homepage but 127.0.0.1:8000/login will also display the homepage even though I linked another template to it.
Here is my code:
main urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^', include('portal.urls')),
url(r'^login/', include('login.urls')),
]
login urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^login/', views.index, name="login"),
]
login views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
return render(request, 'login/login.html')
portal urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^', views.index, name="portal"),
]
I see 2 problems here:
As #DanielRoseman mentioned above, the regular expression ^ matches anything, so you should change it to ^$.
When you use an include, the rest of the path after what the include matched is passed to the included pattern. You’ll want to use ^$ in your login urls.py too.
You don't terminate the portal index URL, so it matches everything. It should be:
url(r'^$', views.index, name="portal"),
In addition, if the regex is login/$ but you enter http ://server/login, then it won't match wheras http://server/login/ will.
You could try changing the regex to login/*$, which will match any number (even zero) / on the end of the url.
So http: //server/login, http: //server/login/, http: //server/login//// would all match.
Or if you want to be specific, login/{0,1}$ might work (though that regex syntax is from memory!)
The only examples I find. are related to issues with login page and iteration to other pages but not in the way I have the problem, so here is the issue I have to deal with -
I want to display a form for creating an account with multiple steps, using modals, when a user access the button "subscribe"
on my homepage.html I have this:
<a onClick="window.location.href='account'" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="account">
</a> `
...which is supposed to go to a new account.html page, in the same folder as my homepage.html
in my app's urls.py, where the apps' name is homepage I have:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from homepage import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.homepage, name='homepage'),
url(r'^account$', views.account, name='account'),
)
and in my views I have:
from django.shortcuts import render
from homepage.models import Email
def tmp(request):
latest_email_list = Email.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:0]
context = {'latest_email_list': latest_email_list}
return render(request, 'home_page/homepage.html', context)
def homepage(request):
return render(request, 'home_page/homepage.html')
def account(request):
return render(request, 'home_page/account.html')`
when I click on the button I get
Not Found
The requested URL /account was not found on this server.
I am a complete beginner in django and python so I really haven't yet wrapped my mind on how to work properly with the urls, views, and models together but I assume I have something wrongly defined in my views
would be grate if someone could help me setting this up,
Thanks
I only want to thank all those who took time to check my question and tried to give a solution.
I think it was my mistake that I did not post the code I have in my main urls.py file, so here it is:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', include('home_page.urls', namespace="homepage")),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
Apparently, the problem was in that first prefix of the first url in the list:
I changed
url(r'^$'
for
url(r''
and now it calls whatever links I provide in my html pages.
Thanks all again
I'm having a problem with the way my URL's look in Django. I have a view like this:
def updatetext(request, fb_id):
Account.objects.filter(id=fb_id).update(display_hashtag=request.POST['hashtag'])
fb = get_object_or_404(Account, pk=fb_id)
return render(request, 'myapp/account.html', {
'success_message': "Success: Settings updated.",
'user': fb
})
When a user clicks on the URL to update the text they are then redirected to the account page but the URL then looks like 'account/updatetext/'. I would like it just be 'account/'.
How would I do this in Django. What would I use in place of render that would still allow me to pass request, 'success_message' and 'user' into the returned page but to not contain the 'updatetext' within the URL?
[edit]
The urls.py file looks like this:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from myapp import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^home/$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^(?P<fb_id>\d+)/$', views.account, name='account'),
url(r'^(?P<fb_id>\d+)/updatetext/$', views.updatetext, name='updatetext'),
url(r'^(?P<fb_id>\d+)/updatepages/$', views.updatepages, name='updatepages'),
url(r'^login/$', views.user_login, name='login'),
url(r'^logout/$', views.user_logout, name='logout'),
url(r'^admin/$', views.useradmin, name='admin'),
)
You need to actually redirect the user to '/account/'. Rather than returning a call to render you can do the following:
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
def updatetext(request, fb_id):
Account.objects.filter(id=fb_id).update(display_hashtag=request.POST['hashtag'])
fb = get_object_or_404(Account, pk=fb_id)
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('account', kwargs={"fb_id": fb_id}))
However, it would be better to pass in a call to reverse into the HttpResponseRedirect constructor, but since I don't know your urls.py I just wrote the relative url.
