I'm not sure what's going on with the first point. I'd try raising an
exception in that method, though, or writing out to sys.stderr, just to
confirm the method is actually being called without error.
With regards to your second question, the name is a little bit of a
misnomer, resulting from a misunderstanding in the prehistoric days of
Django. Changing it would cause massive upheaval, so we can live with
the misnaming. The scheme ("http" or "https") and site domain name will
be appended to the front of whatever get_absolute_url() returns, so you
need to return everything after the domain name (starting with a slash).
So, it's not really 'absolute'.
