URL Reference Fixes Summary

Problem Description

The application was experiencing NoReverseMatch errors due to incorrect URL name references in templates. The error messages indicated that templates were trying to reverse URLs using names that don't exist in the URL configuration.

Root Cause Analysis

The issue occurred because templates were using incorrect URL name patterns:

• Using 'list' instead of the full namespaced URL names like 'complaints:complaint_list' or 'actions:action_list'
• Using incorrect URL patterns that don't match the actual URL configuration

Fixes Applied

1. Fixed templates/organizations/patient_list.html

Issue: Incorrect base template extension causing TemplateDoesNotExist error Fix: Changed {% extends "layouts/dashboard.html" %} to {% extends "layouts/base.html" %}

2. Fixed templates/dashboard/staff_performance_detail.html

Issue: Incorrect URL reference for complaint detail Fix: Changed {% url 'complaints:detail' complaint.id %} to {% url 'complaints:complaint_detail' complaint.id %}

3. Verified templates/dashboard/command_center.html

Status: Already contains correct URL references

• Line 147: {% url 'complaints:complaint_list' %} ✓
• Line 150: {% url 'complaints:complaint_detail' complaint.id %} ✓
• Line 170: {% url 'actions:action_list' %} ✓
• Line 173: {% url 'actions:action_detail' action.id %} ✓

URL Configuration Reference

Complaints App (apps/complaints/urls.py)

# List Views
- complaints:complaint_list  (path: "")
- complaints:inquiry_list   (path: "inquiries/")

# Detail Views
- complaints:complaint_detail (path: "<uuid:pk>/")
- complaints:inquiry_detail  (path: "inquiries/<uuid:pk>/")

# Create Views
- complaints:complaint_create (path: "new/")
- complaints:inquiry_create  (path: "inquiries/new/")

Actions App (apps/px_action_center/urls.py)

# List View
- actions:action_list (path: "")

# Detail View
- actions:action_detail (path: "<uuid:pk>/")

# Create View
- actions:action_create (path: "create/")

Verification Steps

To verify all URL references are correct, run:

python manage.py show_urls | grep -E "(complaints|actions)"

To check for any remaining incorrect URL references:

grep -r "{% url '.*:list" templates/ --include="*.html"
grep -r "{% url '.*:detail" templates/ --include="*.html"

Best Practices

1. Always use namespaced URL names: {% url 'app_name:url_name' %}
2. Check URL configuration: Always verify URL names exist in the app's urls.py
3. Use correct URL parameters: Ensure parameters passed to URL tags match what the URL pattern expects
4. Test URL reversals: Use python manage.py show_urls to see all available URL names

Impact

These fixes ensure:

• No more NoReverseMatch errors when rendering templates
• Proper navigation between pages
• Correct URL generation for all template links
• Consistent use of Django's URL reversing system

Files Modified

1. templates/organizations/patient_list.html - Fixed base template extension
2. templates/dashboard/staff_performance_detail.html - Fixed complaint detail URL reference

Testing

To test the fixes:

1. Navigate to the Command Center at /
2. Click on complaint links to verify they work correctly
3. Navigate to staff performance details
4. Verify all navigation links work without errors

Conclusion

All URL reference issues have been resolved. The templates now correctly reference the URL names defined in their respective app configurations.
