Hello, I am currently working on a Django app and am quite pleased with the framework overall.
The problem I am currently having is that the default Django admin widget for a ManyToMany relationship is a multiple select box. This is causing a big problem for me since I have thousands of entries in the models table for the ManyToMany relationship. This means that the admin page is taking 10+ seconds to load, since it is populating the select list with ALL possible values from the database. I would like to implement some type of widget that will allow me to use a pop-up to browse through the objects referred to by the ManyToMany relationship, only a few at a time, and select/deselect them through this interface. I have a pretty decent javascript background and can use AJAX to do multiple queries for the browsing - the implementation of the widget is not my concern. What I don't know how to do is to instruct Django admin to use my custom javascript widget for the field in question. I have looked around a lot and have found lots of references to editing Manipulators for cases that at first seem like they could be similar to my own. However, I haven't found a satisfactory answer. I'm thinking that I will need to create my own formfield object and manipulator, and somehow override the ManyToMany relationship to use the new formfield type instead of the default SelectField. Beyond this general concept, I am stumped. Has anyone had experience with something along these lines? Can anyone give some suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! :D --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
