My URLs need to capture the following:
domain/forum-name/
domain/forum-name/topic-name
I have the following URL definitions:
url(r'^$', views.index_forums, name='index_forums'),
url(r'^(?P<forum_name>[-\w]+)/(?P<topic_name>[-\w]+)/$', views.show_topic, name='show_topic'),
url(r'^(?P<forum_name>[-\w]+)/$', views.index_topics, name='index_topics'),
When I hit a URL like domain/name-of-forum, I generate URLs in the HTML like so:
{% url 'board:show_topic' forum_name|lower topic.title|lower %}
This gives me a "Reverse...not found" error, and I cannot figure out why. Am I using "url" incorrectly? Is there a problem with my regular expression? Thanks!
Edit: adding full error and template:
NoReverseMatch at /random/
