Question

Hello I am trying to pass different urls from my site into a template.

I thought it would be done by using this in the template

{% url myappname.module.views.urlfunction %}

but that returns an error, saying that “Caught AttributeError while rendering: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘regex'”

I am not sure what that means. I followed this example url template tag in django template

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'myappname.module.views.start'),

and this is what I have entered in my template

{% url myappname.module.views.start %}

I have also tried this url pattern and template combo to no avial:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'myappname.module.views.start', name="home"),

{% url "home" %}

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

In last example instead of

{% url "home" %}

try

{% url home %}

without quotes
