What is the article key?

I'm not sure how to get this to work.

articles/views.py 
from django.shortcuts import render

from .models import Article, Writer


def article_list(request):
    articles = Article.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'articles/article_list.html', {'articles': articles})


def writer_detail(request, pk):
    writer = Writer.objects.get(pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'articles/writer_detail.html', {'writer': writer})

def article_detail(request, pk):
    article = Article.objects.get(pk=pk)
    return render(request, 'aticles/article_detail.html', {'article', article})
articles/urls.py 
from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'writer/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.writer_detail),
    url(r'', views.article_list),
]

Hola,

I had to look at this for like 2 minutes wondering. Why in the world would this not work? Then I found it!!!

                                                          #      !     #
 return render(request, 'aticles/article_detail.html', {'article', article})


#Should be

 return render(request, 'aticles/article_detail.html', {'article': article})

You have a comma instead of a : Those simple mistakes will get ya

Let me know if this did or did not work for you.

Thanks!

Hola!

Yup that was mainly it. When I tried it, it didn't work at first but then I saw the typo as well on the return: ('aticles/article_detail.html' -> 'articles/article_detail.html')

It's always the little mistakes that are hardest to fix lol.

Thanks!!
