I use this urls

# /project/urls.py
from blog.urls import urlpatterns as blog_urls

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^blog/', include(blog_urls, 'blog')),
)

# /blog/urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('blog.views',
    url(r'^$', 'index', 'index'),
    url(r'^category/(?P<category_id>\d+)/$', 'category', 'category'),
)

# /blog/views.py
def index(request):
    render(request, 'blog/index.html')

def category(request, category_id):
    render(request, 'blog/index.html')

Why i got this error? Never saw it before and i don't know why i getting this error...

Answer 1

The problem is this line:

url(r'^category/(?P<category_id>\d+)/$', 'category', 'category')

The third positional parameter is the extra context dict. If you want to pass the name instead, you need to use a keyword arg:

url(r'^category/(?P<category_id>\d+)/$', 'category', name='category')
