I originally put that url pattern into the root conf, but it wasn't working
there either. Embarrassingly, I'm not sure how to import my app's conf or
define a new pattern that would point to it.
This is what the root urls.py looks like:
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.views.i18n import set_language
from mezzanine.core.views import direct_to_template
from mezzanine.conf import settings
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
# Change the admin prefix here to use an alternate URL for the
# admin interface, which would be marginally more secure.
url("^admin/", include(admin.site.urls)),
)
if settings.USE_MODELTRANSLATION:
urlpatterns += [
url('^i18n/$', set_language, name='set_language'),
]
urlpatterns += [
url("^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "index.html"}, name="home"),
# REST API URLs
url("^api/", include("mezzanine_api.urls")),
url("^", include("mezzanine.urls")),
]
handler404 = "mezzanine.core.views.page_not_found"
handler500 = "mezzanine.core.views.server_error"
