django-cms and cmsplugin-news

I have been wrangling with Django for some weeks now, putting it down, picking it up, and now I am convinced that it's what I want to use. I got a site up and running with django-cms, but have a small challenge with cmsplugin-news.

I can input news items, list latest news items, and all works fine. However, when I click on an individual news item to view the detail, I get a 404 page not found error.

Here is my urls.py and settings.py file, respectively.

    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        (r'^' + settings.MEDIA_URL.lstrip('/'), include('appmedia.urls')),
    ) + urlpatterns

Here is a link to the urls.py file for the cmsplugin-news app: https://bitbucket.org/MrOxiMoron/cmsplugin-news/src/03ba1b86624b/cmsplugin_news/urls.py

The problem is very simple: The cms.urls should always be last in your urlconf because it eats every request.

Changing your urls.py to this should fix it::

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^news/', include('cmsplugin_news.urls')),
    # MUST BE LAST!!!
    url(r'^', include('cms.urls')),
)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns = patterns('',
        (r'^' + settings.MEDIA_URL.lstrip('/'), include('appmedia.urls')),
    ) + urlpatterns
