Define a lookup channel:
# yourapp/lookups.py
from ajax_select import register, LookupChannel
from .models import Tag
@register('tags')
class TagsLookup(LookupChannel):
model = Tag
def get_query(self, q, request):
return self.model.objects.filter(name__icontains=q).order_by('name')[:50]
def format_item_display(self, item):
return u"<span class='tag'>%s</span>" % item.name
Add field to a form:
# yourapp/forms.py
from ajax_select.fields import AutoCompleteSelectMultipleField
class DocumentForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Document
tags = AutoCompleteSelectMultipleField('tags')
This will now work in the Django Admin.
To use a form outside, be sure to include form.media
on the template where you place the form:
{{ form.media }}
{{ form }}
