Is it possible to use limit_choices_to with a dynamic model attribute? Some background: I am using a StaffMember model for content creators who do not have user accounts. Each staff member has a start and end date and the model has a dynamic attribute called 'is_active' that compares the start/end dates to the current date and returns either True or False depending on whether the staff member is active or not.
When creating content, I need to be able to use limit_choices_to to limit the drop-down choices to only those staff members that are currently active (otherwise we'll have hundreds of inactive alumni staff showing up in the list of choices every time we post new content). Django returns a "Cannot resolve keyword 'is_active' into field" error when I try to do this. I could add an "is_active" field to the StaffMember model, but that would be redundant given the start/end dates and would require admins to manually keep track of staff members in a high turn-over environment. On a related note, the dynamic attribute works with list_display but not list_filter in admin.py. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
