For this discussion I have a Django environment with an app.
Topic:
Namespace
Desc:
I’m using url namespace and so far no issues until i have 1 web page with more than 1 link to other pages.
Problem outline:
I load / display console.html page. This page is basically including the base_console_ap.html that will be only used within this app and that’s why it’s not in the outer project level templates folder. The console_app.html load fine. When I select the first link {% url 'console_app:console_ivanti' %} it loads the console_ivanti.html page. When I select the 2nd link {% url 'console_app:console_msl' %} it still only loads the 1st link. If I re-order the urls.py path lines it flips it. Will load the 2nd page only and not page 1.
from this:
path('console_app/', views.console_ivanti, name='console_ivanti'),
path('console_app/', views.console_msl, name='console_msl'),
to this:
path('console_app/', views.console_msl, name='console_msl'),
path('console_app/', views.console_ivanti, name='console_ivanti'),
This is the structure and content of files concerned.
