I apologize for not being clear first time. Its so idiot of me. Here m trying to provide a search page having a text box input and a radio button. User types one or more tags to search and a radio input button decides to either search local user account data or all database for links.
Also there is a view (get_links) which takes one tag as argument and returns the result links from database and corresponding line in urls.py is (r'^links/(?P<tname>.*)/',get_links) And the idiot side of me tried to pass two arguments the tag string from search form and radio button input to this one get_links view using HttpResponseRedirect(reverse....). Now I had realized that a new view is required to handle inputs from search form. I apologize all and especially Malcolm for wasting their time. I'll not repeat such things in future. And thanks to Malcolm for second point that is exactly I m trying to achieve in results. Looping through the space separated tag string and querying database for links common to all of them. *********************************** 1. The code fragment in views.py : def if request.method == 'POST': form = searchForm(request.user,request.POST) if form.is_valid(): return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse ('zen.views.get_links',args=(request.POST['search_data']))) else: form = searchForm(request.user) 2. def get_links(request,tname = None,template_name = "showlinks.html",searchit=None): qs= UserTagLink.objects.filter (tag_id__tag_name__exact=tname) extra = { 'user' : request.user } return list_detail.object_list(request,extra_context = extra,queryset=qs,template_name = 'showlinks.html') 3.
