url tag and reverse function do not work

[keizie]

urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from tagging.models import Tag

urlpatterns = patterns('tagging.views',
    (r'^tag/(?P<tag>\w+)/', 'tagged_object_list', {'queryset_or_model':Tag, 'related_tags':True}),
)
urlpatterns += patterns('page.views',
    (r'^$', 'show'),
    (r'^rev/(?P<rev>\w+)/', 'show'),
    (r'^diff/(?P<old>\s+)/(?P<new>\s+)/', 'diff'),
    (r'^edit/', 'edit'),
    (r'^info/', 'info'),
    (r'^delete/', 'delete'),

    url(r'^recent/', 'recent', name='recent'),
    (r'^search/((?P<needle>\s+)/)?', 'search'),
    (r'^tag/', 'tag'),

    (r'^(?P<action>\w+)/', 'unknown'),
)

And try:

Even admin page breaks with url template tag, like {% url django-admindocs-docroot as docsroot %}.

r8759 and r8934 tested.

Do you have a delete() method in your page.views module? If not, that's the problem. Your URLConf file must be valid for reverse() to work.

[keizie]

page/views.py have no def delete().

Do you mean that each view module have to implement delete method to be integrated with reverse()?
But 'URL dispatcher' of documentation don't mention that delete() method is necessary.

[Alex Gaynor]

No, but each reference to a view must be valid, you have a view named delete, for reverse to work that function needs to exist.

If you're still having trouble with this, please ask on the django-users mailing list. There's no bug in Django here.

Oops. Just found what I've missed between urls and views. Sorry to bother you.
