I’m using {% url path_to_view %} to generate links within my application. I came to the situation when I need to use several static pages without views, using direct_to_template. Normally, if I had just one such page, I could use {% url direct_to_template %} to generate link to it, but with more URLs pointing to this view, {% url direct_to_template %} always points to the last one in urls.py.

Is it possible to use {% url %} syntax to point directly to some template? Or is the only choice to use views even if I don’t really need them?

    If you have django 1.3 use the class bases generic views, and you should create at least a url pattern

    url.py

    from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^path/to/something/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="your_temlate.html"), name="something" ),
    url(r'^path/to/something/else/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="your_temlate_else.html"), name="something_else" ),
)

    template:

    <a href="{% url something %}">Link to something</a>
<a href="{% url something_else %}">Link to something else</a>
