Question

I have a form on a page:

    <form id="create_event" method="post" action="{% url app.views.create_event course.id %}" >
        {% csrf_token %}
        {{ eventForm.as_p }}
        <input type="submit" value="add event">
    </form>

And in my urls.py I have

(r'^item/(?P<item_id>\w+)/create_event/$', create_event),
(r'^item/(?P<item_id>\w+)/$', item),

I have both the functions create_event and item working on my localhost.

However, for some reason when I press submit on the form my server side (1.2.3 on webfaction, I’m stuck with using 1.2.3) django throws the following error:

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://my_url/item/1/create_event/app.views.course

When I replaced the {% url app.views.create_event course_id %} with a hard coded URL it still somehow appended the method name to the URL. Could this be a problem with 1.2.3 not yet having some of the functionality I’m used to using from 1.3?

Any ideas?

Try changing your urls to:

(r'^item/(?P<item_id>\w+)/$', item, name='item'),

Then change your redirect in create_event to:

return redirect('item', item_id = item_id)
