I've implemented a search function which brings up a list of database
items on a page. My template looks like this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% if results %}
<ul>
{% for quote in results %}
<li>{{ quote|escape }}</l1>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No quotes found</p>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
My search code is like this:
def search(request):
query = request.GET.get('q', '')
if query:
qset = (
Q(name__icontains=query) |
Q(company__name__icontains=query) |
Q(note__icontains=query)
)
#results = Quote.objects.filter(qset).distinct()
results = Quote.objects.filter(qset)
else:
results = []
return render_to_response("sam_app/search.html", {
"results": results,
"query": query
})
The problem, is that the outputted list is just static text. What I
want, is a series of links that when I click one one of them, will
bring up the relevant item in a form for editing.
I found this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#topics-forms-index
And saw the form.as_p form.as_table form.as_ul and got exited because
I thought this might work. I edited the above code to make the search
function pass a form object to the template, but then I got the error:
Caught an exception while rendering: too many values to unpack.
So I guess this isn't it?
I know I could just put together a loop to generate links with the pk
encoded inside the url, and do it like that, but it seems to me there
should be a neat little method in django to do this automatically. It
also though generic views might be the answer but I don't think you
can customize those, right?
