I know this is an armature question but here goes.

I have a url path as follows: path('projects/<s>', PL.projects),

And I pass a string from the html template by putting it into an href tag like so projects/some_string. this works once but then the base url changes to <ip>/projects/some_string. so when I try to excite the path to pass a string in that domain then I get an error as the url is now <ip>/projects/projects/some_string.

How do I set it up so that I can pass as many strings as possible as many times as possible without having to clean my url in the browser everytime.

Learn how to use the reverse() function and the url template tag and your problems will be gone.

Those functions are built-in with Django and can handle all of that nasty URL stuff.

Reverse: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/urlresolvers/

Url Template tag: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/templates/builtins/#url

Django has inbuilt url lookup features

path("some_random_url_link_1/", views.Link1View.as_view(), name="url_link_1"),
path("some_random_url_link_2/<int:some_id>/<slug:some_slug>/", views.Link2View.as_view(), name="url_link_2"),

in your template you can use it like this, and pass variables/parameters like this. FYI you don't need to use {{variable}} tag here

<a href="{% url 'url_link_1' %}" >Link 1</a>
<a href="{% url 'url_link_2' some_id=id1 some_slug=random_slug %}" >Link 2</a>
