Comment (by Josef Richter): Replying to [comment:3 Tim Graham]: > It seems like a basic understanding of how the URL system works would get you to the right answer, but... would it be more clear to you if it said, "you can do this by adding the following snippet to your `ROOT_URLCONF`" (changing `urls.py` to `ROOT_URLCONF`). I don't think referencing the filenames in the tutorial here is a good idea. Yes, probably. I'm just saying it's an easy mistake to make for a beginner who sees Django for the first time in their life and don't know the details of its URL system, structuring the app, etc. And it's hard to identify and fix that mistake for a beginner. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/32419#comment:6> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
