Hello everyone!
So I’ve created several apps in my Django project and I have one main app called main_app.
The other apps are called profile_app, settings_app, messages_app.
The issue:
The issues that I have is that whenever I try to run a certain view function from e.g profile_app in main_app using the app namespace and URL name (e.g profilepage_app:“profile-redirect”), I receive a 404 error stating “Page not found”.
I have done the following:
- Registret all apps.
- Linked the urls.py file in my settings URL.
- Tried to create a test view function inside the main_app and it works perfectly, but the same function does not work in the profile_app.
- Created another test app in order to see if I still have the same issue (I did).
So the problem is that whatever link from all apps (except main_app) that I try to display in the browser generats the “Page not found”-error.
My questions:
- Why does this happen?
- How can I resolve this issue?
- Has this something to do with my settings file?
The error:
My view:
from django.conf import settings
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.views.generic import View
from profile_app.forms import *
from profile_app.models import *
from messages_app.models import Message
user = settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL
# Create your views here.
## Redirect to user profile from the navbar
class ProfilePageView(View):
model = ProfilepageMember
template_name = "profile_app/profilepage.html"
def get(self, request, user_name):
user_related_data = ProfilepageMember.objects.filter(member__username = user_name)
context = {"user_related_data": user_related_data}
return render(request, self.template_name, context)
