Re: Django module view has no attribute?

I don't know the contents of the course you are taking, but it looks like the last import of views, which is "from counters import views" is overriding all the others and in it you have not defined a "posts" view.

1. You could solve this by aliasing your imports, e.g.:
```
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
# from . import views as a
from posts import views as b
from redactors import views as c
from counters import views as d
urlpatterns = [
  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  path('^$', a.home, name='home'),
  path('^b/', views.result, name='result'),
  path('^b/', views.counters, name='seth'),
  path('^d/', views.posts, name='james'),
  path('^d/', views.redactors, name='simon'),
]
```

... although this is not what you should be doing with django.

2. (much better) you could use the `include` function of the django.urls module and pass in the string representation of each urls module's name. You would not need to import each app's urls.py module for this.

```

from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [

  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  path('^james', include('posts.urls')),

]

```

...etc.

I would recommend doing a short Python tutorial to understand some key basics, such as how imports work (https://www.w3schools.com/python/default.asp) and doing the official Django "Getting Started" guide and tutorial (you can find the latest version on https://www.djangoproject.com/start/).

I'm taking a Udemy course by Nick Walter and rather than copying line by line, I'm trying to branch out and experiment on my own.  

The purpose of the website I am creating is for a small blog, with the ability to redact string input (in an HTML form) from the user. There is also a word counter for the body content of the blog.

I got Django running but as soon as I started adding the code I wrote, Django stopped running properly.

Here is the traceback in full: https://pastebin.com/8HtdNwPP

The main issue shows at the bottom:

File "/home/<user>/dev/projects/python/2018-and-2019/CC_Redact_Iter2/CC_Redact_Iter2/urls.py", line 28, in <module>
    path('^james/', views.posts, name='james'),
AttributeError: module 'counters.views' has no attribute 'posts'

Based on this traceback, I gather I have probably misnamed a function or a file name or template but I can't for the life of me figure which one or where.

My entire source code repo can be found here: https://github.com/Angeles4four/CC_Redact_Iter2

Here are some of the relevant files involved.

urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
# from . import views
from posts import views
from redactors import views
from counters import views
urlpatterns = [
  path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  path('^$', views.home, name='home'),
  path('^result/', views.result, name='result'),
  path('^seth/', views.counters, name='seth'),
  path('^james/', views.posts, name='james'),
  path('^james/', views.redactors, name='simon'),
]

counters/views.py:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render
def home(request):
  if 'ccEntry' in request.GET:
      number = request.GET['ccEntry']
      redacted_num = 'xxxx xxxx xxxx {}'.format(number[-4:])
      return render(request, 'result.html', {'number':number, 'redacted_num':redacted_num})
  else:
      return render(request, 'home.html')
def result(request):
   return render(request, 'result.html')
def counters(request):
  return render(request, 'counters/james.html')
