Django map Urls

Question

Hello I am new to django,

I have created a simple app for category wise product. for that I wanted to display as below url patterns.

• / -> Home page
• /product -> category page
• /product/product_name -> product page

to achieve this I have wrote a below code. myapp/urls.py file

import product

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^manage/', admin.site.urls),
    url(r'^', include(product.urls)),
    url(r'^product/', include(product.urls)),
]

in myapp/product/urls.py (I am managing app wise urls)

from views import product_name, product_root

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^', product_root, name="ProductRoot"),
    url(r'^product_name/', product_name, name="ProductName"),
]

Now when I runs the app and browse the page it gives me below result.

• / -> product category page
• /product -> product category page
• /product/product_name -> product category page (but it should be product page)
• /product/product_name/any_value -> product category page (Should return 404)

Can anyone guide me what I am doing wrong?

You need to terminate the patterns in your app urls:

url(r'^$', product_root, name="ProductRoot"),
url(r'^product_name/$', product_name, name="ProductName"),

Otherwise the first one will match everything.
