Hi, I have form on a search page called SearchForm where the user selects items to search. The rest part creates a URI which appears as below from the selected items to search.
http://archive/ephemera/searchresult/?choose_collection=Macmillan&user_input=GuitarBuilder&choose_item=title I'm trying to write a classview in views.py to get the URI parameters, then fashion a query to place those in an object_list for viewing in a search results template. views.py class SearchResultsView(django.views.generic.ListView): template_name = 'ephemera/searchresults.html' model = Item #my model class def get_queryset(self, **kwargs): form = SearchForm() choose_collection = self.request.GET.get('choose_collection') user_input = self.request.GET.get('user_input') choose_item = self.request.GET.get('choose_item') object_list = self.model.objects.filter(collection__icontains = choose_collection).filter(choose_item__icontains = user_input) #XXX return object_list I can't seem to figure out how to pass the choose_item get variable to the filter. Django complains cannot resolve keyword 'choose_item' into field. The correct field is 'title' but I won't know that until the user selects one of the choices from the form pull down menu. The following query works fine directly on sqlite, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it in the class view. select * from ephemera_item where collection = 'MACMILLAN' AND title = 'Guitar Builder'; Could be my basic approach is bad too, because I'm only just starting out with this. Thank you for any advice. Regards, Bob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
