Question

I’m using passing a variable into my view to use with the url tag:

{% load url from future %}
...
{% if notification.url %}
  <a href='{% url notification.url %}'>{% notification.text %}</a>
{% endif %}

notification.url is set to something like post, the name of the url I wish to point to, however the url isn’t reversed, as {% url 'post' %} would be.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Rubber ducked this one half way through writing it.

The solution is to just use reverse() on the url name before passing it to the template.
