Python Django Basics Django Templates Add a Detail View

Page not found at courses/1

Hi guys am getting the following error for Add a detail view.

Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8000/courses/1/ Using the URLconf defined in tester.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^courses/ ^$ ^courses/ ^$ ^admin/ ^$ ^static\/(?P<path>.*)$ The current URL, courses/1/, didn't match any of these.

Cannot see the detail page.

This is the regex i use for the url -

urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', views.course_list), url(r'(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.course_detail), ]

Any idea where I could be going wrong?

url(r'courses/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.course_detail)

Make sure in your learning_site/urls.py you have the following, and then your code in courses/urls.py would have the routes for the course detail page:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='courses')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls))
]

I had this problem as well, your solution fixed it. Thanks!

Kenneth doesn't have this in the video though. Is the version of Django he's using in the video deprecated? This is confusing for those just learning the basics.

Thank you Iain, that helped me too! (I didn't have namespace='courses')
