I am having a spot of trouble making a search box that looks through both the title, and the description of the model, without it over riding everything. I took my example from this: Django-filter, how to make multiple fields search? (with django-filter!)
so my current filter looks something like:
class QuestionSetFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
search = CharFilter(method='my_custom_filter', label='search')
o = OrderingFilter(
fields = (
('date_posted', 'date_posted')
),
choices = [
('date_posted', 'Old first'),
('-date_posted', 'New first'),
]
)
class Meta:
model = QuestionSet
exclude = ['image', 'user', 'date_posted', 'question_set_description', 'question_set_title']
def my_custom_filter(self, queryset, name, value):
return QuestionSet.objects.filter(
Q(question_set_title__icontains=value) | Q(question_set_description__icontains=value)
)
How can I change my custom filter to still chain with the other parameters I want to search with?
Simple enough, just had to use
queryset.filter(..)
instead of
QuestionSet.objects.filter(..)
