please explain me why following code works with http://127.0.0.1:8000/index/1/ and doesn't for http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/:
mysite\urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('index/', include('polls.urls')),
path('1/', include ('polls.urls')),
]
polls\urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('1/', views.polls, name='z'),
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
Does Django not accept absent of some indexlike path, is everything built on it?
try to use your urlpatterns in mysite to use only one path, and then map the paths inside your polls/url.py like this
mysite/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
]
and polls/urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('1/', views.polls, name='z'),
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
if you are using class based views (CBV's) make sure to use .as_view() in your urlpatterns :) hope this helps!
As per your code all your paths will be,
http://127.0.0.1:8000/index/1/ http://127.0.0.1:8000/index/ http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/1/ http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/
From these the two urls associated with polls in your views.py are http://127.0.0.1:8000/index/1/ and http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/1/
As you have mentioned in your title http://127.0.0.1:8000/index/1/ works and http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/ does not is because you are requesting wrong url. The url you are requesting is not for views.polls change it to http://127.0.0.1:8000/1/1/. You will get your desired result.
