I'm learning Django, and so far I always had to use URL's like
projectname/appname/viewname
but what if I don't want appname to appear in the URLs for the "default" app, how can I configure my urls so that
projectname/viewname
will load the view viewname from my default app?
P.S. : Of course my primary goal is to be able to use the URL projectname/ to load the default view for the default app.
Details
Currently my ProjectName/urls.py has this:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root', settings.STATIC_ROOT}
),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^myapp1/', include('myapp1.urls', namespace='myapp1', app_name='myapp1')),
url(r'^myapp2/', include('myapp2.urls', namespace='myapp2', app_name='myapp2')),
)
so when I deploy my project to Heroku, and visit myproject.heroku.com, I get the error :
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: https://myproject.herokuapp.com/
Using the URLconf defined in MyProject.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^static/(?P<path>.*)$
^admin/
^myapp1/
^myapp2/
I know this is supposed to be, but how do I fix (or hack) this to get myproject.heroku.com to work?
If not possible, how can I redirect the homepage to myproject/myapp1/defaultview ?
Thanks in advance !
my app's urls.py looks like this :
urlpatterns = patterns('myapp1.views',
url(r'^view1/$', 'view1', name='view1'), # the default view
url(r'^view2/(?P<oid>\d+)/(?P<pid>\d+)/$', 'view2', name='view2'),
)
Edit
After trying #Wallace 's suggestion url(r'^$', include('myapp1.urls', namespace='myapp1', app_name='myapp1')), and hitting the homepage, I now get the error:
Using the URLconf defined in myproject.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^static/(?P<path>.*)$
^admin/
^$ ^view1/$ [name='view1']
^$ ^view2/(?P<oid>\d+)/(?P<pid>\d+)/$ [name='view2']
^myapp2/
Tried changing your project urls.py with:
url(r'', include('myapp1.urls', ...)
This will include all urls from myapp1.urls where they all append to /.
The reason why r'^$' won't work is because the regex ends with $ which means there can only be 1 x url /, and because your app1.urls only has 2 urls defined and without a / or ^$ equivalent, the url resolver will then fail.
But be aware of url clashes, if your project has a ^view1/$ url it will clash to your app1's view1 for example.
Try not including your appname in the regular expression.
url(r'', include('myapp1.urls', namespace='myapp1', app_name='myapp1')),

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/'polls/index.html
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
admin/
^polls/ ^$ [name='index']
^polls/ ^(?P<question_id>[0-9]+)/$ [name='detail']
^polls/ ^(?P<question_id>[0-9]+)/results$ [name='results']he current path, polls/'polls/index.html, didn't match any of these.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.
Your problem is not about IDE, you need to properly configure your urls.py page. It seems like Django couldn't find 'polls/'polls/index.html' address. You need to go to urls.py file and add following line;
path('polls/'polls/index.html/', views.path_to_function, name='index'),
I have started learning Django, I'm not sure what the include() function means.
Here is mysite/urls.py. - project
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
Here is polls/urls.py. - app in project
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
]
From django document, include() function was described as follows.
Whenever Django encounters include(), it chops off whatever part of the URL matched up to that point and sends the remaining string to the included URLconf for further processing.
I'm not sure what is that point, what is remaining string.
In case of the example above, what is remining string, what is url strings which was chopped off?
For example, from this URL:
polls/5/results
the URL rule:
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
chops off the polls/ part of URL and sends the remaining string after polls/, whatever it might be, for example (see here more):
5/results/
to urls from the poll app's urls.py, where it will then be mapped to a view based on the URL rules defined in this file
Whenever it will encounter any url with /polls then it will include all the urls of polls app.
Example:
If you type /polls/hey
Then as soon as it sees /polls it will go to polls urls file and later it will search for:
hey/ matching over there.
Lets say there is one more entry in your polls/urls.py like
url(r'^articles/(?P<year>[0-9]{4})/$', views.year_archive),
here year is the query string parameter. so your url will look like
/polls/articles/2007 so in this case /polls/articles/ will matched up and 2007 will pass to year_archive method
In your example there is no chopped string, the URL comes back as simply polls/, but when you have another url such as '^new$' then that url is being chopped, merged with polls/ and it returns polls/new, hope this makes sense..
I'm trying to learn to work with Django and i'm making a image app.
Now I managed to upload images to my database, but now I want to retrieve them.
The images are stored in media/images/.
Now I made an admin page that looks like this:
AS you can see the thumbnails don't load.
When You click on one of those thumbnails, I get the following error:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/images/june.png
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^admin/
The current URL, media/images/june.png, didn't match any of these.
Here is my urls.py of my main thinghy (not the app, wich is called photo):
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
Now I'm not sure what I exactly need to do to fix this.
I hope you can help me.
Please be clear ( small steps ) cause I'm not that experienced with django.
Thanks in advance
Oh BTW i'm on Win7
EDIT:
this is what I added to my settings/py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/'
So right now, your urls.py doesn't have a pattern for /media/images. That pattern probably exists somewhere in your photo app. You need to link the urls for your photo app into your primary urls.py, something like:
url(r'^media/', include('photo.urls')),
This would tell the app that if it sees a url with media/ it should look for the next thing ('images/') in the photo app.
I'm currently learning Django and I'm trying to add form to register a User.
Now my problem starts really early because I get a 404 whenever I try to access my registration page.
My 3 files are as follows:
views.py : just a hello world to display basically
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello World")
def registration(request):
return HttpResponse("Registration page")
urls.py (in my project) :
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', include('myapp.urls')), # index with login/registration
(r'^grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')), # grappelli URLS
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), # admin site
)
and finally urls.py (in my app) :
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from myapp import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$',views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^registration/$',views.registration, name='registration'),
)
When I go to my normal index (localhost:8000) It displays the hello world I wrote in the views.py file. However when I try to go the registration page it just returns me a 404 (localhost:8000/registration).
Now as I said I'm still learning this whole thing, but I don't get why It doesn't work properly. As far as i understand the r'^$' in the project file is pointing towards the localhost:8000 and the same regex in the app file tells it to load the index page in this location. Now as the program is still in localhost:8000, a r'^registration/' should be loading the other page in localhost:8000/registration right?
It would be really nice if you could explain to me why this doesn't work and where I did a mistake in my thoughts.
This is the error I get:
When i take
(r'^randomstringhere/', include('myapp.urls')), # index with login/registration
instead of
(r'^$', include('myapp.urls')), # index with login/registration
I can get to the registration page via localhost:8000/randomstringhere/registration. But Site is meant to have a selection where you can either Log in or register on localhost:8000 (or future domain www.randomdomainhere.com) and a registration/login form on localhost:8000/login, localhost:8000/registration (www.randomdomainhere.com/registration etc.)
At the end of each url you should add a $ symbol,
url(r'^registration/$',views.registration, name='registration'),
reffer this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/http/urls/
you are missing $ sign in the end of url.
It should be:
url(r'^registration/$',views.registration, name='registration'),
The $ symbol in django urls means end-of-string match character which is borrowed from regular expression. So, $ should be added at the end of your url on app's urls.
url(r'^registration/$',views.registration, name='registration'),
However we can write urls with the regular expressions that don’t have a $ (end-of-string match character) but we do have to include a trailing slash(/). For urls without $, you must enter the trailing slash while opening the url in your browser to match the regular expression.
Your app urls in project's urls.py is
url(r'^grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')), # grappelli URLS
So, to access the registration page, you need to browse by
localhost:8000/grappelli/registration/
i.e. append the path in your app's url to the path in project's url for the app.
Learn more about urls here.
You need to remove $ from the first url as given below
urls.py (in my project) :
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^', include('myapp.urls')), # index with login/registration
(r'^grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')), # grappelli URLS
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), # admin site
)
A url starts with ^ and ends with $. so if $ is encountered django understands that the url has ended and there's nothing more infront of that. so in your case it will no more look for "registration". or if your url with "registration" doesnt matches to any urls specified at all.
I have the following code in the urls.py in mysite project.
/mysite/urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^gallery/$', include('mysite.gallery.urls')),
)
This results in a 404 page when I try to access a url set in gallery/urls.py.
/mysite/gallery/urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^gallery/browse/$', 'mysite.gallery.views.browse'),
(r'^gallery/photo/$', 'mysite.gallery.views.photo'),
)
404 error
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^gallery/$
The current URL, gallery/browse/, didn't match any of these.
Also, the site is hosted on a media temple (dv) server and using mod_wsgi
Remove the $ from the regex of main urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^gallery/', include('mysite.gallery.urls')),
)
You don't need gallery in the included Urlconf.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^browse/$', 'mysite.gallery.views.browse'),
(r'^photo/$', 'mysite.gallery.views.photo'),
)
Read the django docs for more information
Note that the regular expressions in this example don't have a $ (end-of-string match character) but do include a trailing slash. 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.
