I have this view function for my blog posts.
def home(request):
posts = Post.objects.all().order_by("-pub_date")
paginator = Paginator(posts, 5)
try: page = int(request.GET.get("page", 1))
except ValueError: page = 1
try: posts = paginator.page(page)
except (InvalidPage, EmptyPage):
posts = paginator.page(paginator.num_page)
return render_to_response("home.html",
dict(posts=posts, user=request.user))
In my main urls.py file, I have the following:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^', 'blog.views.home', name='home'),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
Also, I didn't create a urls.py file under my app folder.
And I have this in my home.html file.
{% block footer %}
<ul class="pager">
{% if posts.object_list and posts.paginator.num_pages > 1 %}
{% if posts.has_previous %}
<li><a href="{{ posts.previous_page_number }}">Previous</a></li>
{% endif %}
{% if posts.has_next %}
<li><a href="{{ posts.next_page_number }}">Next</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
</div><!-- /.blog-main -->
{% endblock %}
Up to this point, the homepage (home.html) renders properly on my local server. However, when I click on next page link, it sends me to
127.0.0.1:8000/2
and shows the same page. Also, the previous button is not showing.
Question: Have I done anything wrongly? And how do I direct my views to page 2 properly in the url dispatcher?
Help appreciated. Thank you.
