Question

I have a root urls.py and an app urls.py. In my root I have this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^$', include('realestate.properties.urls')),
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

In my app urls I have the following

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('realestate.properties.views',
    url(r'^$', 'property_list', {'template_name': 'properties/property_list.html'}, name='property_list'),
    url(r'^(?P<slug>[-\w]+)/$', 'property_detail', { 'template': 'property_detail.html' }, name='property_details'),
)

now in my template I have a link to the details view, which looks like this:

{% url property_details property.slug %}

Everytime I render this page i get the error:

*Caught NoReverseMatch while rendering: Reverse for ‘property_details’ with arguments ‘(u’111-front-st’,)’ and keyword arguments ‘{}’ not found.*

No matter what I do, I get that error. I tried capturing just the id and nothing is working, i am not sure why, I have used url’s many times before so I am really confused if I am missing something obvious. Any see anything wrong here?

Thanks

I think you need to drop the $ from your urlconf, where you include the app’s urls. Probably you can remove the ^ too.

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^', include('realestate.properties.urls')),
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/topics/http/urls/#including-other-urlconfs

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.
