Question

I have this link in a template:

<a href="{% url show_item item.id %}">Item 1</a>

and this url in the urls.py

url(r'item/(?P<id>)/$', show_item, name="page_item")

however, this error occurs:

Reverse for 'show_item' with arguments '(63L,)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

I looked at this question:

how to get python to not append L to longs or ignore in django template

but it did not help.

Is there another way to use the primary key, which is an integer, in constructing URLs in templates?

Answer 1

The URL name doesn’t match. Change the template to be:

<a href="{% url page_item item.id %}">Item 1</a>
