Hello,
I'm developing a store manager application and I use generic views for
object listing, but I'd like to integrate a search toolbar like admin
site for those listings.
The problem is I'd like to use generic views without using a middle
custom view that filters objects with search params. I'd like to do all
with generic views.
I solved that this way: I add request_lookup_kwargs param on
django/views/generic/list_detail.py, and I use this param in urls.py
directly.
In my example, in urls.py I use this:
info_resources = {
'app_label': 'store',
'module_name': 'resources',
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^resources/$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list',
dict(info_resources, request_lookup_kwargs={'name__contains':
'query'})),)
Above line means that the query request variable is a search filter for
name__contains lookup argument.
The seach toolbar (included in resources_listing template) looks like
this:
<form action="" method="get">
<div>
<input type="text" size="40" name="query" value="" id="searchbar"
/>
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</div>
</form>
And last, I have to do the next patch to list_detail.py:
Index: list_detail.py

I write that email because I think that kind of feature could be useful
on django generic views. I put my implementation like an example
solution, but there could be others solutions.
