I am new to Django and so I am learning how it works, I got a pretty decent web app stood up and I was playing around with the django_registration plugin. The thing that confused me is that the templates live in the root site /registration and I can access them from URLs like this:
<a href="{% url 'registration_register' %}">
So I thought I could do that for everything in registration but it was not so, as this doesn't work:
<a href="{% url 'registration_login' %}">
Confused what it is about one that works, and not the other (I sort of come from a rails background and I could see the routes there) this one I am having trouble learning, this was after going through why some urls in my app use a mysite:polls etc with the semi colon (that I think I get) just confused on the ones that don't live under an app namespace so to speak.
Or should registration_login of worked and I really just did something wrong on the template setup or the urls.py or something? Just trying to get some background.
Edit: Just saw it was the login url that was giving you the problem. I'll leave the other section about registration_register up for future reference in case it happens to be useful.
The url for the login is located here and is named auth_login
registration_register bit:
Did you set INCLUDE_REGISTER_URL to False in your settings.py file?
Check the source for the urls located here and you'll see the following snippet
if getattr(settings, 'INCLUDE_REGISTER_URL', True): #Defaults to True
urlpatterns += [
url(r'^register/$',
RegistrationView.as_view(),
name='registration_register'),
]
