python - Django - In one view, how do I "return render/Httpresponse/etc" to another view? -

so have view called addpost(like wall post). it's model form page post object. there 2 cases, either request.method post, or isn't. in case it's post method, want return profile page after post submitted.

i've had problem few times, , comes in form of noreversematch errors.

how "return render/httpresponse/etc" view? in django? feel solutions i've had before have been hackish , want proper way implement sort of feature.

i want note error on myapp/profile.html

here trackback have:

noreversematch @ /myapp/profile/1/ reverse 'addpost' arguments '()' , keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: [] request method: request url:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/myapp/profile/1/ django version: 1.8.2 exception type: noreversematch exception value:     reverse 'addpost' arguments '()' , keyword arguments '{}' not found. 0 pattern(s) tried: [] exception location: /library/python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/urlresolvers.py in _reverse_with_prefix, line 496 python executable:  /library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/resources/python.app/contents/macos/python python version: 2.7.8 python path:     ['/users/me/project',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-18.0.1-py2.7.egg',  '/library/python/2.7/site-packages/pip-1.5.6-py2.7.egg',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python27.zip',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-old',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload',  '/library/frameworks/python.framework/versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages',  '/library/python/2.7/site-packages'] server time:    tue, 14 jul 2015 08:12:13 +0000 

it occurs @ line of code in html, button links add_post view.

profile.html

{% if user == curruser %}                    <a href="       {% url 'addpost' %}       " class = "btn btn-info"> <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span></a>    {% endif %} 

and highlights bit of code in debug:

~/myapp/views.py in profile                 return render_to_response('myapp/profile.html', {'curruser': curruser}, context) ... ▼ local vars 

here 2 views, profile , add_post.

@login_required def profile(request, id):     context = requestcontext(request)     curruser = user.objects.get(pk = id)     profile = userprofile.objects.filter(user = curruser)     return render_to_response('myapp/profile.html', {'curruser': curruser}, context)  @login_required @login_required def add_post(request):     context = requestcontext(request)     if request.method == 'post':     #     #create form instance , populate data request         form = postform(request.post)         if form.is_valid():              #process data in form.clean_data             post = post(user = request.user, title =form.cleaned_data['title'], body=form.cleaned_data['body'])             post.save()             return redirect(reverse('myapp/profile', args=[request.user.pk]))       else:         form=postform()      return render_to_response('myapp/addpost.html', {'form': form}, context ) 

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns(     '',     ...     url(r'^profile/(?p<id>\d+)/$', views.profile, name='profile'),     url(r'^addpost/$', views.add_post, name='add_post'),  ) 

you've misdiagnosed problem. nothing redirecting; occurring in template itself, because have used {% url 'addpost' %} instead of {% url 'add_post' %}.
