django-tables2 header row urls wrong....can't sort

Question

I can't figure out how to solve this issue about sorting my table: table is rendered at this url: 127.0.0.1:8000/ip_teams/

but when I click on the name of the column to sort the table, url became: 127.0.0.1:8000/?sort=name it excludes the "ip_teams/" path.

This is my view:

class FoundationIPTypeList(SingleTableView):

    model = tracker_models.FoundationIPType
    table_class = tables.FoundationIPTypeTable

this is my table:

class FoundationIPTypeTable(django_tables.Table):
    class Meta:
        model = FoundationIPType
        attrs = {'class': "table table-striped table-condensed table-hover"}
        fields = ["name", "help_contact_email"]

this is my urls:

urlpatterns = [

#    url(r'^$', views.HomePageView.as_view(), name='home'), # Notice the URL has been named
    url(r'^about/$', views.AboutPageView.as_view(), name='about'),
    url(r'^ip_teams/$', views.FoundationIPTypeList.as_view(), name="ip_team_list"),

this is my template:

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load render_table from django_tables2 %}


{% block pagecontent %}
<h1><center>Foundation IP Teams</center></h1>

<div class="container">
  <div class="panel panel-primary">
       {% render_table table %} 
  </div>
</div>

{% endblock %}

any ideas what is wrong? can't seem to find the answer anywhere. i thought this feature would work right out of the box.

table header row:

    <thead>
    <tr>


        <th class="name orderable"><a href="?sort=name&amp;name=unknown">Name</a></th>



        <th class="help_contact_email orderable"><a href="?sort=help_contact_email&amp;name=unknown">Help Contact Email</a></th>


    </tr>
</thead>

Did you try using the table filtering example in django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/filtering.html? Try using that, and then add any customization you need for your project. — Jieter

@Jieter i had started with django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/… and then found a more generic way to do it, which is what i listed in my original comment. your comment refers to filtering, where i can't even get the basic stuff working like just having the resort of the columns work. the url created by django-tables2 is incorrect. — Emmanuel Sifakis

Yes, but you use custom code which I did not test/run. So that's why I suggest using something not custom to start with. If you do not want the filtering yet, use the example like you linked to and please update the code in your question accordingly. — Jieter

@Jieter do i want to inherit from SingleTableMixin and FIlterView or just inherit from SingleTableView? i am confused as to what approach to take. i tried without any custom code using the simple example i gave and the same happened...no "ip_teams" in the url for sorting AND the filtering didn't work anymore. — Emmanuel Sifakis

First, try to inherit from SingleTableView. If that leads to working urls, try changing to inherit from (SingleTableMixin, FilterView) — Jieter

Django-tables2 uses relative urls which add the sorting parameter. This works as long as the document does not contain a base tags, which change the base of any relative urls in the page.

Removing the <base> tag will fix your issue.
