Re: newbie confused about urls

Hi

You usually define get_absolute_urls() on a model to let Django know how to derive a URL for that object. The docs for get_absolute_url can be found  here. I advise you to understand how URL routing works in Django thoroughly, especially how not to hardcode stuff into your models. In the linked page, you'll also see how you can use `reverse` to reference formatted URLs from the urlconf in question.

Regards

I am following the "Beginning Django e-commerce" book and he uses the get_absolute_url method in his models.

The book is dated (2009) and being new, I am not sure what applies.

He also creates urls.py in each module directory, but when I run it, it never finds it.

it defaults to the main urls.py that was created when I created the project.

You mean mappings urls to views(pages?). Because if get_absolue_url is like request.get_full_path() then you would use that in the view itself and use urls.py to map urls to pages/views. And templates are are called from in views.

Hi All,

I am trouble understanding how to use urls.

I see tutorials that have get_absolue_url, url  mysite, ect.

I need to do:

1. load a page with no parameters

2. load a page with 1 parameter

3. load a page with more than 1 parameter

What should my templates look like?

Thank you
