I'm building my first ecommerce app, while attempting to gain more skills in Django. I have a form problem, where I am either adding a product, or editing one, using the same Template. My problem is where the action call drops part of the url when submitting POST back to the server ( right now, it's just the python manage.py runserver).
When I go to edit, I see the url: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystore/edit-product/4
When I edit the product and click submit, I get the Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystore/edit-product/ page not found error.
This error prevents me from returning to the view to determine anything else. please note, I am missing the last part of the url (4), which is the crux of my issue.
It looks like I'm missing something. This is what I have
userprofile/url.py
from django.urls import path
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('signup/', views.signup, name='signup'),
path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='userprofile/login.html'), name='login'),
path('myaccount/', views.myaccount, name='myaccount'),
path('mystore/', views.my_store, name='my_store'),
path('mystore/add-product/', views.add_product, name='add-product'),
path('mystore/edit-product/<int:pk>', views.edit_product, name='edit-product'),
path('vendors/<int:pk>/', views.vendor_detail, name='vendor_detail')
]
store/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns =[
path('search/', views.search, name='search'),
path('<slug:slug>', views.category_detail, name='category_detail'),
path('<slug:category_slug>/<slug:slug>', views.product_detail, name='product_detail')
]
core/urls.py <-- the base urls
from django.urls import path,include
from .views import frontpage, about
urlpatterns =[
path('', include('userprofile.urls')),
path('', frontpage, name='frontpage'),
path('about', about, name='about'),

Thank you.
