Django Grappelli Autocomplete issue

Question

I am using the following code. I tried everything as per docs, but can't find any way. Am I missing something. The models.py contains the following code.

from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime
from django.contrib import admin


class Category(models.Model):
    category_name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    category_id = models.CharField(max_length=200)

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'ebay'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s' % (self.category_id)


class MyCategory(Category):
    @staticmethod
    def autocomplete_search_fields():
        return ("category_name__icontains", "category_id__icontains")

    class Meta:
        proxy = True


class Listing(models.Model):
    ebay_id = models.CharField(max_length=200,null=True)
    amazon_id = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    category = models.ForeignKey(MyCategory)

    class Meta:
        app_label = 'ebay'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'%s' % (self.ebay_id)

class ListingOptions(admin.ModelAdmin):
    # define the raw_id_fields
    raw_id_fields = ('category',)
    # define the autocomplete_lookup_fields
    autocomplete_lookup_fields = {
        'fk': ['category'],
    }

I am using Django version 1.8.1

Answer 1

At the moment, Grappelli is not yet compatible with Django 1.8. One of the issue that you encounter could be #591.

Temporary solution:

• help to contribute Grappelli
• use Django 1.7.x (with grappelli) but with Django 1.8 mindset.
• use django 1.8.x (with django.contrib.admin) and wait for next release of Grappelli
