Hi all, I'm new to django and I am using django 1.6 on my local machine yet
the version of django on the company server is 1.5.4 thus I get the
following error:
Reverse for 'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm' with arguments
'()' and keyword arguments '{u'uidb64': u'4', u'token':
u'3ob-9370053c94189ea07a08'}' not found.
The error occurs when it tries to perform the following line:
{{ protocol }}://{{ domain }}{% url
'django.contrib.auth.views.password_reset_confirm' uidb64=uid token=token %}
my guess is that there is a change from django 1.5 to 1.6 in how the reverse
url is matched. How would I then change the code so that it works with the
older version(1.5), could it be the fact the uidb64 was introduced in 1.6 while
1.5 uses uidb36. Would that be the only change needed?
