How To Use The Category Name As Url Suffix In Django

Now my url is like:https://mywebsite.com/newscategory_lists-5 I want change it to:https://mywebsite.com/categoryname Here is my model: class Category(models.Model): name = mode

Solution 1:

try this, in url.py

url(r'^(?P<link>[\w|-]+)/$', views.categoryNewsList, name='categoryNewsList')

view.py

def categoryNewsList(request, link):
categories = {
    "graphics-design": "GD",
    "digital-marketing": "DM",
    "video-animation": "VA",
    "music-audio": "MA",
    "programming-tech": "PT"
}
try:
    foos = Category.objects.filter(name=categories[link])
    return render(request, 'yoursite/home.html', locals())
except KeyError:
    return redirect('yoursite/home.html')

and at your template.html put links:

    <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-sm bg-light navbar-light justify-content-center">
  <ul class="navbar-nav">
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="/">All categories</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
