How can I get the reverse url for a Django Flatpages template

Answer 1

Include flatpages in your root urlconf:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ('^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),
)

Then, in your view you can call reverse like so:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

reverse('django.contrib.flatpages.views.flatpage', kwargs={'url': '/about-us/'})
# Gives: /pages/about-us/

In templates, use the {% url %} tag (which calls reverse internally):

<a href='{% url django.contrib.flatpages.views.flatpage url="/about-us/" %}'>About Us</a>
