I'm using django-autocomplete-light in a django admin application but i cant get choiches correctly filtered for a fk field with limit_choiches_to argument: I still get the entire queryset. here's the code:
# autocomplete_light.py from django.db.models import Q import autocomplete_light from myapp.models import MyClass from otherapp.models import Deps class MyClassAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteModelBase): """ MyClass autocomplete widget class """ choiches = MyModels.objects.filter( Q(dpt__in=Deps.MAIN_DEPARTMENTS), Q(user__is_active=True) ) search_fields = ['^full_name', 'initials'] attrs = {'placeholder': 'Type a name'} autocomplete_light.register(MyClass, MyClassAutocomplete) # admin.py class SampleModelAdminForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: link_attrs = {'cols': 105, 'rows': 3} model = SampleModel def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(SampleModelAdminForm, self).__init__( *args, **kwargs ) self.fields['my_fk'].widget = autocomplete_light.ChoiceWidget( 'MyClassAutocomplete' ) I also tried to override choices_for_request method in AutocompleteModelBase subclass:
def choices_for_request(self): return MyModels.objects.filter( Q(dpt__in=Deps.MAIN_DEPARTMENTS), Q(user__is_active=True) ) By this way I have the filtered queryset, but I loose the autocomplete feature (for every word that I type, e.g. 'Es', it starts to show me the choiches from the A letter)
Anybody can help me with that?
thanks
