Hi there, thanks for making this tutorial available. The “Give us feedback” link redirects here and I noticed a few small issues on the page as I was working through: under the section “Render navigation tabs conditionally” the code snippet is labelled as “nav_bar_buttons.html” when it should be “nav_bar_tabs.html”; the snippet under the “Register the logout view” section is missing the following imports:
from urllib.parse import urlencode, quote_plus
And further down, in the “Update the message service to call an external API” section the second code snippet is mislabeled as “settings.py” when it should be “views.py”
Thanks @a_o for reaching out, I’m reviewing the guide and will update it accordingly to reflect the correct files and code in the snippets.
Have a great day!
