Django Tutorial Help

Based on the information available, I can address your questions about the Django tutorial:

URL Mappings in the Tutorial

The Django tutorial does cover URL mappings in part 3. Specifically, there are sections on:

1. Writing more views - Shows how to add new views to your application
2. Removing hardcoded URLs in templates - Explains how to use the {% url %} template tag
3. Namespacing URL names - Demonstrates how to organize URL names when you have multiple apps

The tutorial should guide you through setting up URL patterns in your app's urls.py file and connecting them to your project's main URL configuration.

URL Structure Example

While I don't have access to a specific GitHub repository for the tutorial, here's how URL mappings typically work in Django:

PYTHONCopied
# In your app's urls.py (e.g., polls/urls.py)
from django.urls import path
from . import views

app_name = 'polls'  # For URL namespacing
urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
    path('<int:question_id>/', views.detail, name='detail'),
    path('<int:question_id>/results/', views.results, name='results'),
    path('<int:question_id>/vote/', views.vote, name='vote'),
]

# In your project's urls.py (e.g., mysite/urls.py)
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path

urlpatterns = [
    path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

This would create URLs like:

• http://localhost:8000/polls/ (index view)
• http://localhost:8000/polls/1/ (detail view for question with ID 1)
• http://localhost:8000/polls/1/results/ (results view)
• http://localhost:8000/polls/1/vote/ (vote view)

The tutorial should walk you through this process in part 3, particularly in the sections about writing views and URL namespacing.

If you're having specific issues with certain parts of the tutorial, I'd recommend focusing on the particular section that's causing problems and comparing your code with the examples provided in the documentation.
