Using anchor tag to call a view django

project.urls

from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf.urls import include, url, patterns
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', include('app.urls', namespace = 'app')),
)+ static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

app.urls

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ex: /polls/,
 url(r'^', index.as_view(), name = 'index'),
 url(r'^contact/', ContactMail.as_view(), name = 'contact'),
# url(r'^register/', register.as_view(), name = 'register'),
# url(r'^login/', login_user.as_view(), name = 'login'),

)+ static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

html

<a class="page-scroll" href="{% url 'app:contact' %}">Contact</a>

I get the error:

Reverse for 'contact' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: [u'$contact/']

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance!

Including your app urls as 

url(r'^$', include('app.urls', namespace = 'app')),

means that the only url you will get a match for is www.domainname.com/ because you're telling django that the url must begin with '', contain no characters and end in '', so in your app's urls the only url that matches that is the index view.

If you want you app urls to be served starting at /, your urls should be imported at

url(r'^', include('app.urls', namespace = 'app')),

For example, if you wanted your app urls to start at /app/, like /app/contact/ you would do

url(r'^app/', include('app.urls', namespace = 'app')),

Check the django docs on this for more details.

You've included the app urls via a regex that ends in $, so nothing included will ever match. Don't do that.

url(r'^', include('app.urls', namespace = 'app')),
