I'm saving a JSON parsed string containing dxdiag information in a field and I need to search through this field in the admin interface. I override queryset function but I can't seem to get it to work. Does someone have any suggestions to what I am doing wrong?
I got 15 posts and when I search for example "windows xp" (with the ") i get "0 results (13 total <http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/generic/userdata/?>)", (I have checked and 13 of the 15 has windows xp in them) so it returns all values that contains my search term but nothing shows up in the change_list page. Code: class AdminUserData(admin.ModelAdmin): search_fields = ['games_played', 'dxdiag,] def queryset(self, request): qs = super(AdminUserData, self).queryset(request) print qs if request.GET: query = request.GET.get('q') data = query.split(' ') begin = [] end = [] for item in data: if item.startswith('"'): begin.append(item[1:]) if item.endswith('"'): end.append(item[:-1]) if len(begin) == 0 or len(end) == 0: return qs result = [] for i in xrange(0, len(begin)): if begin[i][:-1] == end[i][1:]: result.append(begin[i][:-1]) else: result.append(begin[i] + ' ' + end[i]) print result for i in xrange(0, len(result)): print i print result[i] qs = qs.filter(dxdiag__icontains=result[i]) for item in qs: print item return qs -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
