Hi Briel i am totally confused now. My senior told me to write get_absolute_url
so i wrote get_absolute_url like this class Listing_channels(models.Model): list_channel = models.CharField(max_length = 20) visibility = models.BooleanField() def __unicode__(self): return self.list_channel def get_absolute_url(self): return u'/category/listing_view/%i/' % self.id and in html template i am calling {%if listing_result %} {% for n in listing_result %} <li> <a href="{{n.get_absolute_url}}">{{n.list_channel}}</a></ li> {% endfor %} {% else %} <p>not available</p> {% endif %} </ul> so its working fine. so now i have two mechanism one is your as you told me to write and second one is get_absolute_url() function. Now my confusion is if we have another same class event_channel and event and many more classes like this then i will have to write get_absolute_url() for each class and if go with you then there i need to change only in urls.py that i think fine. so i should go with get_absolute_url? give me the best and solid reason so i could make understand to senior, and you know the senior behave..
