✅

So, presumably your url.py looks something like:

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    # Patterns:

    url(r'^(?P<username>[\w-]+)/(?P<createdby>[\w-]+)/$', transaction, name="transaction"),
    ....

Your view is:

 def transaction(request, username, createdby):
     ...

Then your template fragment is:

 <a href="{% url transaction item.sender item.receiver %}">{{ item.sender }}</a>

Or you could define the following in your Transaction class (the urls.py file must remain):

 def get_absolute_url(self):
     from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
     return reverse('transaction', kwargs={'username': self.sender, 'createdby': self.receiver})

And then your template would look like:

 <a href="{{ item.get_absolute_url }}">{{ item.sender }}</a>

But geez, this is all Django 101.
