I understand the concept of that, but I'm having an issue with
importing the view function into my urls.py. Here's what I have so
far:
#in views.py
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
def return_template(template):
return direct_to_template(template % '.html')
#in urls.py
urlpatterns += patterns('compliance-bsa/',
(r'(?P<template>[-\w]+)/$',
return_template((template))),
)
This gives me an error: Error while importing URLconf
'rdk.pages.urls': name 'template' is not defined. I thought (?
P<template>) gave me (template) that I can use later in views, no?
Thank you,
Brandon
