I tried searching for this problem here but I didn't find anything, I hope someone can help answering or sending a link to a solution on stackoverflow...
I have been creating a blog, and when I click on the post title, it goes to 'post_details.html' and in the URL shows a slug with the post title. Like here:
examplename.com/blog/brooklyn-nets-at-miami-heat-preview/
But when I click to write a comment on the post it takes me to a form page, but the slug title disappear, it just shows the post number. Like this:
examplename.com/blog/3/add-comment
Can someone explain why is this happening? I want to know how to solve this and understand from where it comes this number that shows up.
Post_detail.html
{% block content %}
<h2 class="title">
<a class="post-title" href="{{ post.get_absolute_url }}">
{{ post.title }}
</a>
</h2>
<p class="date">
Publicado em {{ post.created }} por {{ post.author }}
</p>
{{ post.body|linebreaks }}
<hr>
<h3>Comments</h3>
{% if not post.comments.all %}
Nobody commented yet...<a href="{% url 'blog:commentview' post.pk %}">Add a comment</a>
{% else %}
<a href="{% url 'blog:commentview' post.pk %}">Add a comment</a>
{% for comment in post.comments.all %}
{{ comment.name }}
{{ comment.date }}
<br>
{{ comment.body }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
<a class="swen" href="{% url 'blog:list' %}">More Articles</a>
{% endblock %}

you're passing pk which is a type integer as parameter instead of a slug at path name commentview. May be you should check on that.
