4844	"Writing your first Django app, part 4: last part missing information on how to change ""return HttpResponseRedirect...."""	Rob van der Linde	Jacob	"Hi, I am new to Django and I just went all the way through tutorials parts 1 .. 4 of the latest SVN documentation. I also used the latest SVN of Django.

Everything went smoothly, however I think I noticed one thing missing in the documentation.

The last few paragpraphs of part 4 get you to changeover what you have written so far to generic views. Everything works after the changeover, except the HttpResponseRedirect just after you post a poll generates a NoReverseMatch exception, which it did not before the changeover to generic views. I had a real careful look at the documentation, and I believe it may be missing one piece of information, on changing the following line in your poll view in the vote() method:

return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('mysite.polls.views.results', args=(p.id,)))

As far as I can see, the documentation does not mention changing this line, but I am sure this is where it is going wrong now. It generates a NoReverseMatch exception. I believe this could be a missing piece of information in the documentation"		closed	Documentation	dev		duplicate			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
