Hi all, i am currently reading the django book and following the examples step by step.
I have a view defined as follows: from django.http import Http404, HttpResponse import datetime #def myhome(request): # message = """<html> # <head><title>MY HOME</title></head> # <body bgcolor='yellow'> # <center> # <h1><span style='color:green'>This is my </span><span style='color:white'>way of</span><span style='color:green'> saying welcome!</span></h1> # </center> # </body> # </html> # """ # return HttpResponse(message) # #def hello(request): # return HttpResponse("Hello World") # #def current_time(request): # now = datetime.datetime.now() # html = "<html><body>It is now %s.</body></html>" % now # return HttpResponse(html) def hours_ahead(request, offset): try: offset = int(offset) except ValueError: raise Http404() dt = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(hours=offset) html = "<html><body>In %s hour(s), it will be %s.</body></html>" % (offset, dt) return HttpResponse(html) (All the commented area work just fine ) and I have a url.py like this: from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from mysite.views import * from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^$', myhome), (r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')), (r'^hello/$', hello), (r'^time/$', current_time), (r'^time/plus/\d{1,2}/$', hours_ahead), ) when i try to run localhost:8000/time/plus/3, I get the following error: TypeError at /time/plus/4/ hours_ahead() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8000/time/plus/4/ Django Version: 1.2.1 Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value: hours_ahead() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given) Exception Location: c:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django-1.2.1-py2.6.egg\django\core\handlers\base.py in get_response, line 100 Python Executable: c:\Python26\python.exe Python Version: 2.6.4 Python Path: ['c:\\users\\owner\\desktop\\djtask\\mysite', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\django-1.2.1-py2.6.egg', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-0.8.2-py2.6.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python26.zip', 'c:\\Python26\\DLLs', 'c:\\Python26\\lib', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\plat-win', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\lib-tk', 'c:\\Python26', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\PIL', 'c:\\Python26\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode'] Server time: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:51:57 +0100 My understanding of the error message is that I supplied, 1 argument when the view function, hours_ahead was expecting 2 but really, i don't have a hang of where to put the other argument. I am following the examples in the book. I must be missing something, kindly help me out. thank you. -- Elegbede Muhammed Oladipupo OCA +2348077682428 +2347042171716 www.dudupay.com Mobile Banking Solutions | Transaction Processing | Enterprise Application Development -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
