Urlresolvers.reverse (and {% url .. %} template tag) do not work with namespaced urls and captured parameters in parent urlconf.
This works:
# In urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^(?P<username>\w+)/blog/', include('foo.urls')),
)
# In foo/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('foo.views',
url(r'^index$', 'blog.index', name='blog_index'),
url(r'^archive/$', 'blog.archive', name='blog_archive'),
)
#in some view
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
url = reverse('blog_index', args=['john'])
And this doesn't:
# In urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^(?P<username>\w+)/blog/', include('foo.urls', namespace='user_blogs', app_name='foo')),
)
# In foo/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('foo.views',
url(r'^index$', 'blog.index', name='blog_index'),
url(r'^archive/$', 'blog.archive', name='blog_archive'),
)
#in some view
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
url = reverse('user_blogs:blog_index', args=['john'], current_app='foo')
This works again:
# In urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^(?P<username>\w+)/blog/', include('foo.urls', namespace='user_blogs', app_name='foo')),
)
# In foo/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('foo.views',
url(r'^index$', 'blog.index', name='blog_index'),
url(r'^archive/$', 'blog.archive', name='blog_archive'),
)
#in some view
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
url = reverse('user_blogs:blog_index', current_app='foo')
# but `url` variable contains "/(?P<username>\\w+)/blog/index"
