Django Error u“'polls” is not a registered nam

Question

Yesterday I was working on my first app using this tutorial. It's a Poll and Choice app. The first page displays the question and when you click on the question it's suppose to display choices which you can vote on them.

I had great people who helped me yesterday and told me to use namespace. I've read the namespace tutorial and tried to apply my knowledge to the scenario but it isn't working so far.

This is my error when I click on the questions which is the first page.

 NoReverseMatch at /polls/5/

 Error during template rendering

 In template C:\djcode\mysite\myapp\templates\myapp\detail.html, error at line 5
 u"'polls" is not a registered namespace
 1  <h1>{{ poll.question }}</h1>
 2  
 3  {% if error_message %}<p><strong>{{ error_message }}</strong></p>{% endif %}
 4  
 5  {% url 'polls:vote' poll.id %}
 6  {% csrf_token %}
 7  {% for choice in poll.choice_set.all %}
 8  <input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ choice.id }}" />
 9  <label for="choice{{ forloop.counter }}">{{ choice.choice_text }}</label><br />
 10     {% endfor %}
 11     <input type="submit" value="Vote" />
 12     </form>

Now I know the problems are hidden in detail.html, my main urls and my app called myapp URLCONF and views.py

Now My main URLconf are: C:\djcode\mysite\mysite

 from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
 from django.contrib import admin
 from django.conf import settings
 # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
 # from django.contrib import admin
 admin.autodiscover()

 urlpatterns = patterns('',
     #url(r'^polls/', include('myapp.urls')),
     url(r'^polls/', include('myapp.urls', namespace='polls')),                   
     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
 )

My app folder is called myapp and this is myapp URLconf: C:\djcode\mysite\myapp

 from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
 from django.contrib import admin
 from django.conf import settings

 from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

 urlpatterns = patterns('myapp.views',
     url(r'^$', 'index'),
     url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'detail'),
     url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'results'),
     url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'vote'),


)

My views.py inside myapp are:

 from django.http import HttpResponse
 from myapp.models import Poll ,choice
 from django.template import Context, loader
 from django.http import Http404
 from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
 from django.template import RequestContext

 def index(request):
     latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
     return render_to_response('myapp/index.html', {'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list})

 def results(request, poll_id):
     p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
     return render_to_response('myapp/results.html', {'poll': p})

 def vote(request, poll_id):
     p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
     try:
         selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
     except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
         # Redisplay the poll voting form.
         return render_to_response('myapp/detail.html', {
             'poll': p,
             'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
         }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
     else:
         selected_choice.votes += 1
         selected_choice.save()
         # Always return an HttpResponseRedirect after successfully dealing
    # with POST data. This prevents data from being posted twice if a
         # user hits the Back button.
         return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('myapp.views.results', args=(p.id,)))

 def detail(request, poll_id):
     p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
     return render_to_response('myapp/detail.html', {'poll': p},
                                context_instance=RequestContext(request))

My detail.html C:\djcode\mysite\myapp\templates\myapp

 <h1>{{ poll.question }}</h1>

 {% if error_message %}<p><strong>{{ error_message }}</strong></p>{% endif %}

 {% url 'polls:vote' poll.id %}
 {% csrf_token %}
 {% for choice in poll.choice_set.all %}
     <input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice{{ forloop.counter }}" value="{{ choice.id }}" />
     <label for="choice{{ forloop.counter }}">{{ choice.choice_text }}</label><br />
 {% endfor %}
 <input type="submit" value="Vote" />
 </form>

Answer 1

I think you missed the namespace:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls', namespace="polls")),
)
