Haystack with Whoosh- Search Results Not Redirecting

Question

I successfully installed whoosh and made it work with Haystack. Things are working fine but I'm facing one problem which is; after searching for a keyword and it print out the results, when I click on the result(title), It won't redirect me to the page of the keyword I clicked on, it's just static. I tried adding a get_absolute_url method. Yet it's not working. What I'm I missing?

Models

      class Meek(models.Model):
         user=models.ForeignKey(User)
         title=models.CharField(max_length=250, unique=True)

         city=models.CharField(max_length=200)
         state=models.CharField(max_length=200)

         side_view=models.ImageField(upload_to="photos",blank=True, null=True)
         pub_date=models.DateTimeField()

         def __unicode__(self):
             return self.title


         @models.permalink
         def get_absolute_url(self):
             return ('findme', (), {

Answer 1

In get_absolute_url your URL is called findme and you're giving it five parameters. In your URL configuration, the URL is there but:

• it is not called findme (i.e., you need to have name="findme"), and
• it also does not contain any parameters.

For example, the following URL has both a name and a named parameter (see documentation on URLs for more information):

(r'^articles/(?P<year>\d{4})/$', 'news.views.year_archive', name="news_year_archive"),

You need to create a similar URL with the parameters main_view, side_view, address, city and state so Django can properly reverse the URL and provide an absolute URL for the model.
