django urls: "Django tried these URL patterns"

I am trying a tutorial on Django called blog. I have the following structure:

FirstBlog|FirstBlog
settings
urls
__init__
etc

blog
templates | index.html
migrations
views.py

manage.py

The view.py has

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from blog.models import posts

def home(request):
    return render('index.html')

The urls.py has

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.conf.urls import include
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^blog', 'FirstBlog.blog.views.home',name='home'),
]

and I get this error:

Using the URLconf defined in FirstBlog.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^blog [name='home']

The current URL, , didn't match any of these.

I can't seem to get it right.. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Simply go to file then select Save all your project instead of save. Or use shortcut Ctrl +k s on windows. Project should be able to sync and display the code on Django interface

within your blog app, create a urls.py file and add the following code which calls the home view.

blog/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    #url(r'^',views.home, name='home'),

]

then in your root urls file which can be found at FirstBlog/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url, include

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^blog/',include('blog.urls')), #when you visit this url, it will go into the blog application and visit the internal urls in the app
]

PS: your templates should be in blog/templates/blog/index.html

Read this docs on templates to understand how django locates templates.

This one is to understand how urls work Urls dispatcher

You are doing this in the wrong way! Try doing that using TemplateView from class-based views, which are the current standard from django views.

Check the django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/class-based-views/

Use this at the urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^blog/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html")),
]

And then, create a folder called templates in the project root ( like this: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/intro/tutorial03/#write-views-that-actually-do-something ) named index.html

You are requesting for / url and you have not saved any such mapping. Current mapping is for /blog . So it will work for the same url. i.e goto the browser and request /blog

If you need it to work for / then change the urls appropriately.
