- | In ''nav.django.urls'' the root URL configuration for all things Django in NAV is located. ''nav.django.urls'' is not only a module, but also a package. The ''%%__init__.py%%'' file in the package imports all submodules it can find in the file system, calls ''get_urlpatterns()'' on all the submodules, and combines the results into one ''urlpatterns'' list, as all Django URL configurations does. | + | The root URL configuration for all Django-related applications in NAV is located in ''nav.django.urls''.

When creating a new Django app, create a new submodule for your app in the ''subsystem/your_app/nav/django/urls/'' folder, run ''make install'' in your app to install the module into the ''nav.django.urls'' package, and the NAV installation will find your app. If somebody else installs URLconf glue into ''nav.django.urls'' they will not affect the URL configuration for your app, unless they use exactly the same name for the submodule as you did.
