Re: capturing url pattern from html forms

I found the problem - 

the key of the object that I was passing in the view's item_detail function's return render line was in quotes.  After removing the quotes, the problem went away.  I wonder why the quotes didn't post an issue before altering the url pattern.

Unfortunately, I didn't show my entire URLpatterns list, and the ^item/$  seems to interfere with the ^$ of the previous:  Any suggestions for a work around? thanks again. 

from django.conf.urls import include, url

from django.contrib import admin

from rest_framework.urlpatterns import format_suffix_patterns

from durham_app import views

urlpatterns = [

# Examples:

url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

url(r'^item/$', views.item_detail, name='item_detail'),

url(r'^items/', views.ItemList.as_view()),

]

urlpatterns = format_suffix_patterns(urlpatterns)

There isn't really a reason that any of those URL patterns would interfere with each other. I'd change the last one to r'items/$', but otherwise they look fine.

What do you mean by 'interfere'?
