Django prepend string to url

How do I prepend a string to all my urls? Say I have http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/new/ I want to have http://127.0.0.1:8000/username/articles/new/ Without having to change all the template urls throughout my site. The string I want to prepend here is username based on logged in user. How to achieve this?

To do it first you have to use the templatetags url in all your templates.

If in your urls.py you have something like:

url(r'^articles/new$', NewArticleView.as_view(), name='new_article')

And in your templates you have:

<a href="{% url 'new_article' %}">new article</a>

Transform it to:

url(r'^(?P<username>.+/articles/new$', NewArticleView.as_view(), name='new_article')

<a href="{% url 'new_article' request.user.username %}">new article</a>

If you don't use the templatetags url you have no other way (in my knowledge) than changing all your templates
