Description
It looks like documentation for "url" template tag in here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#reverse-resolution-of-urls specifies that one should use single quotes around first argument, for example
{% url 'view.name' %}
Although when you do this, NoReverseMatch exception is thrown when parsing those URL tags. Removing the quotes seem to fix the problem.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Quotes are needed starting with 1.5, it seems you are reading the current development level documentation but using 1.4. There is a warning box at the bottom of the url template tag documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/templates/builtins/#url):
Don’t forget to put quotes around the function path or pattern name!
Changed in Django 1.5: The first parameter used not to be quoted, which was inconsistent with other template tags. Since Django 1.5, it is evaluated according to the usual rules: it can be a quoted string or a variable that will be looked up in the context.
