Django URL Pattern not triggered

Question

I am trying to implement an approve and decline functionality of a profile using the following approach:

/user/area/decline/234322 
/user/area/approve/234322

So I wrote the following URL pattern:

urlpatterns = i18n_patterns(
    url(r'^user/area/decline/(?P<userid>\[0-9]+)/$', views.DeclineUser),
    url(r'^user/area/approve/(?P<userid>\[0-9]+)/$', views.ApproveUser),
    url(r'^user/area/$', views.Index),
    .
    .)

And my views:

@login_required
def DeclineUser(request, userid=""):
    print("Here: " + userid)

@login_required
def ApproveUser(request, userid=""):
    print("Here: " + userid)

But something is wrong and the methods are not triggered and the Index is triggered instead so I guess the problem is that the URL RegEx is not matching what I need.

As I said the method is not triggered and the closer match is triggered instead which is user/area — Phrixus

Both of your url's have a \ in them so you are escaping the opening [ bracket, you just need to remove those slashes.

url(r'^user/area/decline/(?P<userid>[0-9]+)/$', views.DeclineUser),
url(r'^user/area/approve/(?P<userid>[0-9]+)/$', views.ApproveUser),

Correct but this didn't fixed the problem. The /user/area is triggered instead.

Well now I get the following error: DeclineUser got an unexpected keyword argument 'userid'

@John - Thats a different issue to do with your view, the views you've shown have different names
