In my home page i have 2 links that i would like to bring the user to different pages. How would i make the href link to a view i have created in views.py? Putting in the html file name in as the href and clicking it would make the url in the search bar appear as /qualifications/qualifications.html
when i want it to be /qualifications/
HTML:
<div id="nav_bar">
<ul>
<li><a href="home.html">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="qualifications.html">Qualifications</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
views.py
def qualifications(request):
context = {"title": "Qualifications"}
return render(request, "myApp/qualifications.html", context)
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path("", views.home, name="home"),
path("qualifications/", views.qualifications, name="qualifications"),
]
CodePudding user response:
You need to redirect to your views, not your templates. To do that, your href should be under the form {% url 'your_view_name' %}
.
So in your case the end result would be something like that :
<div id="nav_bar">
<ul>
<li><a href="{% url 'home' %}">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'qualifications' %}">Qualifications</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Note that if you defined an app_name
in your urls.py
, your href would then be {% url 'your_app_name:your_view_name' %}
.
