The following code is for a search on q and attaches tuples from the search on another model. The search results are appended together to create the final data results "list".
def Bypub(request): query = request.POST['q'] if query: qset = ( Q(pubtitlestrip__icontains=query) | ) pubresults = Publication.objects.filter(qset).distinct() # original else: pubresults = [] pathology_id = request.POST['pathology_id'] #original works p = get_object_or_404(Pathology, pk=pathology_id) pub1=Publication.objects.filter(pathpubcombo__pathology=p) for publication in pubresults: if publication not in list: list.append(publication) # the object going to template paginator = Paginator(list, 5) try: page = int(request.GET.get('page', '1')) except ValueError: page = 1 try: publications = paginator.page(page) except (EmptyPage, InvalidPage): publications = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages) return render_to_response('search/searchresults_pub.html', { "query": query, "pubresults": pubresults, 'pub1': pub1, 'pathology': p, 'list' : list, 'publications' : publications, }, context_instance=RequestContext(request) ) The template: {% for publication in publications.object_list %} {{ publication.pubtitle|safe }} {% endfor %} {% else %} No publications found. Please try a different search. {% endif %} <div class="pagination"> <span class="step-links"> {% if publications.has_previous %} <a href="?page= {{ publications.previous_page_number }}">previous</a> {% endif %} <span class="current"> Page {{ publications.number }} of {{ publications.paginator.num_pages }}. </span> {% if publications.has_next %} <a href="?page={{ publications.next_page_number }}">next</ a> {% endif %} </span> </div> Every thing works just fine until I select the link for the "Next" page. The URL in browser is: http://127.0.0.1:8000/Search/?page=2 ERROR: Exception Type: MultiValueDictKeyError Exception Value: Key 'q' not found in <QueryDict: {}> I think when I select "Next" it is returning to the def Bypub, but of course the q is not there the second time. How do I preserver the "list" as a dictionary to output to the next page? This might also answer the other problem I'm having with sending the "list" to a csv file. I also need some way to store the data for the csv file. Any help is appreciated.
