What I do for auto completers ( in general ) is point the widget at a
URL that returns JSON objects and the parse the objects client side.
For the user object your function might look like this:
from django.utils import simplejson
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.http import HttpResponse
def ajax_get_users(request):
users = User.objects.filter(username__istarstswith = request.POST
['q'])
return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps([dict(username=u.username,
id=u.pk) for u in users]), mimetype='text/javascript'))
should get something that looks like this
[
{username:'username',id:4},
{username:'username2',id:5}
]
[urls.py]
url(r'^/member/search/$', 'path.to.views.ajax_get_users',
name="myapp_ajax_user_search"),
if you have your widget set up to include the needed javascript that
should be it. Honestly, the JS parts is more difficult than the django
part.
Hope that makes sense
