Hi Axel, An installed application and a registered URL namespace are two distinct concepts. A URL namespace can only be defined by setting the app_name attribute in your urlconf. In this case, you haven't set a URL namespace for your authentication app, so your urls are not namespaced.
Also, the urlconf parameter to reverse() should point to the root urlconf, not to the urlconf in which your current url is defined. Since it defaults to the root urlconf defined in your project, it's easiest to omit it in most cases. If you don't, and use 'authentication.urls' as your root urlconf, the generated url will miss the 'authentication/' part of your url. To reverse the password_change url, simply use this: reverse('password_change') Marten On Monday, December 14, 2015 at 1:37:56 PM UTC+1, axel...@chaos1.de wrote: > > In my root url, I have: > > url(r'^authentication/', include('authentication.urls')), > > in authentication/urls.py, I have no app_name declared. > > In a module in authentication, I have > > from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse > > from django.apps import apps > print('authentication installed?
