I am fairly new to Django and I followed a tutorial which helped create a blog using Django. That project went fine. But when I wanted to use what I learnt form that tutorial and make my own simple website that's when things went pear shaped. I have been at this problem for a long time now and it is really bugging me, so I hoped a fresh pair of eyes could help me decode the issue.
The error I am getting is this:
Reverse for 'course_detail' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{u'cd': ''}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['course/(?P<cd>\\d+)/$']
Now I know that in my original project I never had a "u'" before the 'cd' in my arguments and I have no idea where this is coming from, I have looked tirelessly for what is causing this and I can't find it.
Here is the rest of the code regarding this issue:

Hopefully someone can help as I have tried all the things I can think of to get it working. If there is need of any more code then please let me know.
UPDATE: models.py
class Course(models.Model):
MY_CHOICES = (
('Open', 'Open'),
('Closed', 'Closed'),
('Fully Booked', 'Fully Booked'),
)
course_name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
course_code = models.CharField(max_length=40)
price = models.CharField(max_length=40, default='add price')
topic_details = models.TextField(max_length=200)
start_date = models.DateField('start date')
end_date = models.DateField('end date')
status = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=MY_CHOICES)
venue = models.ForeignKey(Venue, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
room = models.CharField(max_length=20)
def __str__(self):
return self.course_name
I tried your answer and it worked, I am getting the website loading now but now that I click on the a course name I get this error:
FieldError at /course/1/
