Question

I have problem with url tag. I want to redirect to a function that is in for eg
project_name.forum.views.function. Here is how i try to create url

{% url forum.views.function %}

it gives me this error:

Caught ViewDoesNotExist while rendering: Tried forum in module project_name.forum.views. Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'forum'

I added this url in urls.py(I can access it directly) What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

It sounds more like an incorrectly set up URL conf. You get that error when you specify a view that doesn’t exist.

The url tag failing gives you a failure to reverse url with params... message.

What does your URL conf look like? Does project_name.forum.views.forum exist?

I mean, I find it odd you can visit the page at all, but that’s the first place I’d look.
