#8997: Misleading error message when calling get_absolute_url

------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 If a model has a get_absolute_url method that has an error in it (such as
 a trivial syntax area like a typo in a field name), when you try to view
 the page, django reports the error as "<Foo> objects don't have
 get_absolute_url() methods".

 This is very misleading and makes it difficult to debug the error if you
 are not especially familiar with django. I'm guessing the appropriate
 exceptions are being swallowed somewhere and turned into the wrong error
 message.

Comment:

 We need more details to figure this one out. Where, exactly, are you
 seeing that error message? Is there a traceback? If so, post it. Is this
 only with a specific model or setup, or does this happen elsewhere?
