Autocomplete question

[ghost]

First time to use Grappelli, so please bear with my very native question.
I am intrigued by the autocomplete feature and added
GRAPPELLI_AUTOCOMPLETE_SEARCH_FIELDS = {
"dry_powder": {
"PositionLevelData": ("Position__icontains",)
}
}
into my settings. My understanding is now when I enter partial names of Position in the search field of the changelist page, my typein will be autocompleted. Yet I see nothing like that. Am I misunderstanding something or missing something?
Thanks for the great work.

you need to define autocomplets with your ModelAdmin, see http://django-grappelli.readthedocs.org/en/latest/customization.html#autocomplete-lookups

besides, please use the google group for asking questions … this is an issue tracker.

It seems the autocomplete only works for change-form page. Is there a way to integrate it with search_fields on the change-list page? I do see it is possible with django-autocomplete-light as in
http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.org/en/latest/navigation.html

[sehmaschine]

it does work with the changelist … did you try?

[ghost]

Yes. Sorry if you feel I am wasting your time, but I have spent a day tinkering with this, and yet it just does not work for me. I managed to make the autocomplete show for fk and m2m on the change form page, but not change-list. Here are my snippets, do you see anything missing? Thanks a lot in advance, Yufei

please resend the code in a readable format.

#models.py
class Place(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    parent = models.ForeignKey('self', blank=True, null=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

    @staticmethod
    def autocomplete_search_fields():

    @staticmethod
    def autocomplete_search_fields():
        return ('id__iexact', 'places__icontains',)

#admin.py
class DestinationAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    # The places field is mentioned in a fieldset
    list_display = ['id', 'places',]
    search_fields = ['places',]

    search_fields = ['name',]

admin.site.register(Destination, DestinationAdmin)
admin.site.register(Place, PlaceAdmin)

[sehmaschine]

uncomment list_editable — because you want to edit the field, right?

[ghost]

Not a requirement. Either way autocomplete does not work for me

[sehmaschine]

yes, it is a requirement …

you did not overwrite anything (css, templates)?
can you send a screenshot of your changelist?
any js errors?

[ghost]

Now I do see:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/grappelli/jquery/jquery.min.map

Under my \grappelli_example\static\grappelli\jquery:
I see only jquery-1.9.1.min.js

How do I obtain jquery.min.map? Thanks

[sehmaschine]

jquery.min.map is not part of grappelli … the question is: why is this file being loaded with your setup?

[ghost]

no idea. Do you mind if I package my code up and send it over?

[sehmaschine]

Sorry – I don´t have time to offer that kind of support. Please try to find out what´s the issue … autocompletes are definitely working on the changelist (I just douple-checked with different browsers).

I'm closing this ticket for now. If you find something, feel free to reopen.

[ghost]

Understand. Thanks for your kindness.

just one quick question. How do u think I should go about finding it out? It is a very simple app with not much frills except grappelli. My first instinct is the python package I am using, which is the 64x anaconda for 2.7. I am changing to pythonxy now. Do you think this might be the issue? Any other thoughts will be much appreciated.
Thanks

I don´t think the python-package is an issue (I might be wrong though).

What I would do:

1. check if raw_id_fields are working with your changelist (that´s pure django, not related to grappelli).
2. check if related-lookups (grappelli) are working.

I would use Firefox or Safari for testing. And always check for js-errors.

[ghost]

I installed pythonxy on the computer without any python installed previously, and get the same results. so it is not the package.

I am wondering why raw_id_fields and related-lookups would not have anything to do here if my goal is to make autocomplete work for the model itself like this:

#models.py
class Place(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

    @staticmethod
    def autocomplete_search_fields():
        return ('name__icontains',)

#admin.py
class PlaceAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display=['id', 'name',]
    search_fields = ['name',]
    list_editable=['name',]

admin.site.register(Place, PlaceAdmin)

Is this supposed to show autocomplete, as I start typing in the search box? The grappelli package is excellent, but without some examples/videos I do not know what is supposed to work.

Thanks

Just a sidenote. I just installed Grappelli (2.5.1) with pip, and I also got a 404 on http://localhost:8000/static/grappelli/jquery/jquery.min.map. So I looked a little into it and found out the request is coming from jquery.min.js, see this ticked: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18365315/jquerys-jquery-1-10-2-min-map-is-triggering-a-404-not-found.
And thanks for the great work on Grappelli.

[fdemmer]

i came to this issue looking for autocomplete ("suggestions") for search in the change_list.
i think @ymzz277 was looking for the same thing. that is something grappelli does not do!

as @sehmaschine correctly said, the "autocomplete lookups" feature does work in the change_list view. it allows you to edit raw_id fields using the same comfortable, autocompleting search widget as in the change_form view. (you have to add the field to list_display, list_editable and raw_id_fields to make that work)

imho it was unfortunate to call the staticmethod to define the "lookups" for the "autocomplete lookups" feature autocomplete_search_fields() and the setting GRAPPELLI_AUTOCOMPLETE_SEARCH_FIELDS as it has nothing to do with what you can configure in Django admin with search_fields (which is filtering the items listed in change_list by a search term).

autocomplete for the search would be nice... but that is a different story...

[GabrielDumbrava]

I would also like to have autocomplete working in the search field in the change_list as @fdemmer mentioned. In the meantime I have to rely to other solutions which makes the interface a little inconsistent.
