This is just a tutorial I'm going through Tom. I'm not trying to write anything, just trying to understand this part. And I apologize for making my question(s) confusing, I'm not exactly sure how to ask it.
Let's back up for a second. I'm not trying to match anything, I was telling you what I already had in my files (from the tutorial). What I do not understand is why the "/articles/" part of the url needs be included when I want to go to my "/create/" view? In other words, why does the url need to be "http://127.0.0.1:8000/articles/create"; INSTEAD OF " http://127.0.0.1:8000/create"; ? Am I making sense, lol? I have "url(r'^create/$', 'article.views.create')" in my urlconf, so why must I include "/article/" when I want to go to " http://127.0.0.1:8000/create";? You said "All of your "urlconf" paths will need to have "/articles" in the path to be found". Why? That is my question? I'm obviously not understanding something that I should already know. I get that I also have "(r'^articles/', include('article.urls'))" in my main urlconf. I thought this line of code just linked up the other urlconf in my app package and that's all it did. I hope I made my question a little clearer, lol. I'm not sure how to ask what I want to know. But again, THANKS for the help Tom!
