#15897 closed Bug (invalid)

Example login form in documentation uses URL incorrectly

Description

In what I'm guessing is a holdover from a previous version (though I don't know), the call to the URL template tag in the example login form on the Authentication page puts quotes around "django.contrib.auth.views.login". This raises a NoReverseMatch. Removing the quotes makes it work perfectly.

A patch changing the line in documentation is attached.

(This is my first contribution to an open-source project ever, so I apologize if I'm doing it wrong.)

The behavior of the url tag will change in Django 1.5, and the docs were updated to reflect this change. As far as I can tell, the current version is correct.

See the commit message here : ​http://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/14778/django/trunk/docs/topics/auth.txt

See also the "Forwards compatibility" note : ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/#url

Does your template include the {% load url from future %} line at the beginning? If not, that would explain your problem.
