and tried to use the widget within a simple html page but it does not work and there are no JavaScript or Python errors. Here is my code:
# models.py
class Doctor(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
address = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True, blank=True, default='')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Patient(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
sample = models.OneToOneField(Sample, null=True, blank=True)
doctor = models.ForeignKey(Doctor, null=True, blank=True, default=None)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
# views.py
class DoctorAutocomplete(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView):
def get_queryset(self):
if not self.request.user.is_authenticated():
return Doctor.objects.none()
qs = Doctor.objects.all()
if self.q:
qs = qs.filter(name__icontains=self.q)
return qs
class DocForm(autocomplete.FutureModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Doctor
fields = ('name',)
widgets = {
'doctor': autocomplete.ModelSelect2(url='doc-autocomplete'),
}
class Index(generic.UpdateView):
model = Doctor
form_class = DocForm
template_name = 'index.html'
success_url = reverse_lazy('index')
def get_object(self):
return Doctor.objects.first()
# index.html
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/admin/js/jquery.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
Welcome
<div>
<form action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" />
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
All I want is to use their nice select2 widget to list doctor names with doctor ids as values in an autocomplete. I can do it without django-autocomplete-light, but I explicitly want to learn how to do it with their widget that looks nicer. Can someone please guide me to get it working?
I got it:
class PatForm(autocomplete.FutureModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Patient
fields = ('doctor',)
widgets = {
'doctor': autocomplete.ModelSelect2Multiple(url='doc-autocomplete'),
}
class Index(generic.UpdateView):
model = Patient
form_class = PatForm
template_name = 'index.html'
success_url = reverse_lazy('index')
def get_object(self):
return Doctor.objects.first()
which produces:
if you replace ModelSelect2Multiple with ModelSelect2
then you'll get:
