I am trying to process a form in django/python using the following code.
home.html:
<form action="{% url 'home:submit' %}" method='post'>
views.py:
def submit(request):
a = request.POST(['initial'])
return render(request, 'home/home.html', {
'error_message': "returned"
})
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^submit/$', views.submit, name='submit')
]
when I try to run it in a browser I get the error:
NoReverseMatch at /home/ u'home' is not a registered namespace
and another error message indicating a problem with the form.
You should just change you action url in your template:
<form action="{% url 'submit' %} "method='post'>
On the note of url namespaces...
In order to be able to call urls using home namespace you should have in your main urls.py file line something like:
for django 1.x:
url(r'^', include('home.urls', namespace='home')),
for django 2.x and 3.x
path('', include(('home.urls', 'home'), namespace='home'))
In your main project, open url.py first. Then check, there should be app_name declared at first. If it is not, declare it.
For example, my app name is user info which is declared in url.py
app_name = "userinfo"
urlpatterns = [
url(r'home/', views.home, name='home'),
url(r'register/', views.registration, name='register')
]
I also faced the same issue.
it is fixed now by adding
app_name = "<name of your app>"
in app/urls.py
For Django 3.0, if you're handling your urls within the app and using include with path, in your project/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path(os.getenv('ADMIN_PATH'), admin.site.urls),
path('', include('my_simple_blog.urls', namespace='my_simple_blog')),
path('account/', include('account.urls', namespace='account')),
]
You need to specify namespace in include.
And then in your app/urls.py:
app_name = 'account'
urlpatterns = [
path('register/', registration_view, name='register'),
path('logout/', logout_view, name='logout'),
path('login/', login_view, name='login'),
]
The app_name must match the namespace you've specified in project/urls.py.
Whenever you're referring to these urls, you need to do it like this:
{% url 'namespace:name' %}
If you're using it with redirect:
return redirect('namespace:name')
For the namespace error,
Make sure you have linked the app's url in the main urls.py file
path('app_name/',include('app_name.urls'))
also in the urls.py of your app,make sure you mention the app's name as
app_name='app_name'
Also make sure you have registered the app's name on your installed apps in settings.py
As azmirfakkri has said if you're using redirect, dont use this {% url 'namespace:name' %} syntax, use return redirect('namespace:name').
Probably 2 things could be a root cause,
in app/urls.py do include as below
app_name = 'required_name'
and in project urls.py also include the app_name
url(r'^required_name/$',views.home,name='required_name'),
Check: register app in settings.py INSTALLED_APPS
tag name must be unique in the urls.py file inside your application package inside the project! it is important for the template tagging to route whats what and where.
now [1] inside the urls.py file you need to declare the variable appName and give it the unique value. for example appName = "myApp"; in your case myHomeApp and [2] also define the urlpatterns list...
urlpatterns = [..., url(r'^submit/$', views.submit, name='submit'), ...];
in the html file just change the url tag to:
<form action="{% url 'myHomeApp:submit' %}" method='post'>
this should sifuce... else just write here and we'll see how to continue on
A common mistake that I always find is when you have some name space in your template,
and in YourApp.url you don't have any name space so if you should use name space add
in YourApp.url something like this
app_name = "blog"
then on your temples make sure you add your name space,
so you will have some thing like this "assumption errors are coming from edit.html"
then on that particular template you will do this
"{% url 'blog:vote' pk=post.pk %}" "{% url 'blog:post_category' category.name %}"
if you happen to be nesting include(s, the namespace compounds, eg. topappname:appname:viewname
Maybe someone will find this suggestion helpful.
Go to your applications urls.py and type this before the urlpatterns:
app_name = 'Your app name'
I got the same error below:
NoReverseMatch at /account/register/ 'account' is not a registered
namespace
So, I set "app_name" with the application name "account" to "account/urls.py" as shown below then the error above is solved:
# "account/urls.py"
from django.urls import path
from . import views
app_name = "account" # Here
urlpatterns = [
path("register/", views.register_request, name="register")
]
Check your urls.py
urlpatterns = [
re_path(r'^submit/expense/$', views.submit_expense, name='submit_expense'),
re_path(r'^submit/income/$', views.submit_income, name='submit_income'),
re_path(r'^register/$', views.register, name='register'),
]
then open template.html
put for example register register in your HTML tag like this:
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{% url 'register' %}">
For anyone who struggled on this error like me: After reading the solutions to this question, I was setting namespace in include function in a wrong urls file. Make sure you are modifying the right urls file. For me it was putting it in the main url.py besides settings.py. I hope this answer helps anyone who was confused as I was.
This worked for me:
In urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
path("", views.index),
path("test/", views.test, name = 'test')]
In views.py:
def test(request):
return render(request, "base/test.html")
In the template:
href="{% url 'test' %}"
I have a urls.py file which contains multiple urls with same named paramaters and regex but different names. When I call a view function from the template using {% url 'name' param %} it calls the function which comes first in the urls.py file in disregard to the name. Here is the content of urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('accountsearch.views',
url(r'^$', 'account_search', name='account_search'),
url(r'(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$','reset_password',name='reset_password'),
url(r'(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$','reset_securityquestions',name='reset_securityquestions'),
I am trying to call reset_securityquestions from the template using:
"{% url 'reset_securityquestions' account.uuid user.uuid %}">
but it calls reset_password instead.
If I change the order of urls in urls.py to this:
urlpatterns = patterns('accountsearch.views',
url(r'^$', 'account_search', name='account_search'),
url(r'(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$', 'reset_securityquestions',
name='reset_securityquestions'),
url(r'(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$', 'reset_password', name='reset_password'),
and call reset_password using:
{% url 'reset_password' account.uuid user.uuid %}
it calls the reset_security_questions function. Where am I going wrong?
Django always take firsts matching url pattern , so rewrite the urls as :
urlpatterns = patterns('accountsearch.views',
url(r'^$', 'account_search', name='account_search'),
url(r'^reset-password/(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$','reset_password',name='reset_password'),
url(r'^security-question/(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$','reset_securityquestions',name='reset_securityquestions'),
I don't understand how you are expecting Django to know which URL to use if they both have exactly the same url pattern. When the request comes in, all Django has to go on is the URL itself, and it will always try and match those in order. With your switched patterns, you'll find that the reset_password view now doesn't work.
You need to give Django some way of distinguishing between them. Usually some literal text, either as a prefix or a suffix, would be used, for example:
r'reset/(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$'
r'security/(?P<account_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/(?P<user_uuid>[a-zA-Z0-9\-]+)/$'
I have a URL that needs to account for the following patterns:
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies/90210 (zip code)
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies/portland-or (city-state)
When I type in any of these urls in my browser, they all work as expected. However, I'm getting a NoReverseMatch error when I try to refer to this URL from Django's url template tag.
Here are my relevant url.py files:
# From urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^', include('bos.apps.search.urls', namespace='search',
app_name='search')),
)
# From search/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('bos.apps.search',
url(r'^staffing-agencies/'
r'((?P<city>[a-zA-Z]+)-(?P<state>[a-zA-Z]{2}))?'
r'((?P<zip>[0-9]{5}))?$',
'views.main', name='main'),
)
I thought it might be something to do with the optional parameters, but all of these variances throw the NoReverseMatch error:
Test
Test
This variance does NOT throw an error:
Test
I'm using Django 1.6.5
This not better solution, this is one of solution
url(r'^staffing-agencies/(?P<city>[a-zA-Z]+)*-(?P<state>[a-zA-Z]{2})*?(?P<zip>[0-9]{5})*?$',
'views.main', name='main'),
in views:
def main(request, city=None, state=None, zip=None):
in html:
Test
In this case url work like this,
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies/-90210 (zip code)
localhost:8000/staffing-agencies/portland-or (city-state)
I'm starting to learn about Django Framework. I have this urls in my urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^hello/$','article.views.hello'),
)
My questions are: Can I give this routes a name, like i would in Laravel? How can i reference those named routes from template?
Thanks!
Yes, you can:
url(r'^hello/$','article.views.hello', name="hello"),
You would reference it in a template as:
{% url 'hello' %}
For more information, including how to give arguments to a named URL, see here.
I am trying to use the {% url %} tag to send my user to a new template, called payment.html. I am receiving the error above. Here's what I have:
In some Javascript in my template:
{% url 'payment' %}
In my urls:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^pc-admin/', include(pcAdminSite.urls)),
(r'^$', index),
(r'^signup/', signup),
(r'^info_submit/', info_submit),
(r'^payment/', payment, name="payment"),
In my views:
def payment(request):
return render_to_response('payment.html', {})
Based on similar posts, I've made sure that only 1 URL points to my payment view and have used named URLs. Can anyone help with what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.
There shouldn't be any '' surrounding the view name in the url tag - check the documentation out.
(Unless you're using the Django's 1.5 future {% url %} tag.)
this error also occurs this way :
My account
the message will be this one
Reverse for ''profiles_profile_detail'' with arguments '(u'mynick',)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.
once the two '' dropped like explain erlier everything works fine ;)
