Question

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.)
