Good morning, Django e-mail list! Happy Monday! I have a problem. :) I checked
the Django documentation and Stack Overflow with no success, so you guys are my
next line of defense. This is an issue I've encountered several times; this is
just the first time working around it has bothered me enough to send an email.
So I have a couple URLs. The idea here is to use the same view but get slightly
different results. In particular, I have a registration page. We have our
regular packages, and then special nonprofit pricing. So, my database stuff to
power this is all set up.
I have my basic url:
('^register/$', 'mysite.myapp.views.register', name = 'register')
I want another one for nonprofits...same thing, and almost identical
functionality, so I changed the above and added a line:
(r'^register/$', 'mysite.myapp.views.register', { 'nonprofit': False }, name =
'register')
(r'^register/nonprofit/$', 'mysite.myapp.views.register', { 'nonprofit': True
}, name = 'register')
In the view, I am passing the value of the "nonprofit" variable to the template
under the same name. Simple enough.
Now, the problem: In the template, the reverse URL matching totally barfs. I
want...
{% url register nonprofit=nonprofit %}
...to work.
But I get a NoReverseMatch error:
Reverse for 'register' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{'nonprofit':
False}' not found.
The Django documentation (as well as an answer on Stack Overflow) suggest that
I really ought to be using named URL patterns to solve this problem...so,
instead of naming my non-profit registration page "register", I name it
"register-nonprofit".
I really do not want to do this if I can avoid it. That would require me to
have something to the effect of...
{% if nonprofit %}
{% url register-nonprofit %}
{% else %}
{% url register %}
{% endif %}
...on the relevant pages. That's substantially less clean.
I also am hoping to avoid a /register/forprofit/ type of URL. My boss would
kill me. :)
Any thoughts?
Regards,
Luke
