Users should be able to view a contact's details by accessing the '/contact//' URL. This URL configuration is very similar to the others you've created so far. Simply follow the steps below to set it up.

Step 1: Create Contacts Detail URL

The first step is to create the contact detail URL configuration. This configuration will be stored in the url config file of the app. Follow these steps to set it up.

1. Create the file /.../crmeasy/crmapp/contacts/urls.py
2. Open it and type in the following

contact_urls = patterns('',

    url(r'^$', 'crmapp.contacts.views.contact_detail', name="contact_detail"),

)

Follow these steps to update the main URL config file.

Open the /.../crmeasy/crmapp/urls.py. First, add this import to the top of the file.

from contacts.urls import contact_urls

Then add the following code to the URL configuration (below the 'Contact related URLS' comment):

# Contact related URLS
