I have just started to do a website with django + python and I want to implement a search form to be able to search on all my database objects. What I want is; when I write for an example S I want the search field to display all my objects that starts with the letter S in a list, just like the Tags field below on this site.
Does anyone have a good ide to implement this with django?
For a decent django search implementation, I would recommend looking at djapian. However, for what you are doing, I would recommend a query using the ISTARTSWITH parameter. Consider the following:
views.py
def search(req):
if req.GET:
search_term = req.GET['term']
results = ModelToSearch.objects.filter(field__istartswith=search_term)
return render_to_response('search.html', {'results': results})
return render_to_response('search.html', {})
search.html
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input name='S'>
</form>
{% if results %}
Found the following items:
<ol>
{% for result in results %}
<li>{{result}}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ol>
{% endif %}
</body>
</html>

def homepage(response):
data = Project_types.objects.all()
return render(response, 'main/homepage.html',{'projects':data})
def hacks(response):
return render(response, 'main/hacks.html', {})
def games(response):
return render(response, 'main/games.html', {})
All I need to know is how to iterate through each object in the variable "data" in html. I want it displayed in the most simple way possible !
Using the FOR template tags you can iterate through the objects in the data list ...
templatename.html:
{% for iteratorname in projects %}
<h1> {{ iteratorname.attributes }} </h1>
{% endfor %}
Please read the documentation for more details
You can use for template tag:
{% for project in projects %}
<p> {{project.attributes}} </p>
{% endfor %}
How can I filter specific field of a model in template while using for loop.
code:
{% for news in news_list|position:3 %}
<img class="d-block w-100 rounded slideimage" style="height:415px" src="{{news.image_link}}" alt="First slide">
<h1 class="mb-2">
{{news.title}}
</h1>
{% endfor %}
there is a 'position' field in news model,I want to get all the news that position equal 3.I tried
{% for news in news_list|position:3 %}
any friend can help?
You should not filter in your template. Templates should only be concerned with making thinks look nice, not about the content of the things it is rendering. Filtering belongs in the view, since the view is concerned with business logic.
You thus filter with:
def myview(request):
# …
news_list = News.objects.filter(position=3)
# …
context = {
'news_list' : news_list
}
return render(request, 'my_template.html', context)
I'm building a Netflix like website for my Devops course. I made a Python list of dictionaries (Mockfilms) to define my films, and want to populate a database (Ratings) with reviews in preparation for sending data in the format :filmid: :userid: :rating: to a recommendation engine.
My index page is a list of film images with a link to a review form under each one. I want each review form to appear on a different url (/review/ID where ID is saved in mockfilms as oid). In order to do this I want to access mockfilms.oid, then pass it to the view function to make the url for the form. Once the form is complete I then want to add this ID to the Ratings database. Here is what I have so far:
Index:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Hello, {{ current_user.username }}! Welcome to our extensive video library:</h1>
{% for film in mockfilms %}
{% set ID = film.oid %}
<div>
<a href = {{ film.video }}>
<img src = {{ film.image }} alt = "doh" style = "width:200px;height:200px;border:0;">
</a>
</div>
<div>
">Leave a review here!
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
Route:
#app.route('/review/<ID>', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
#login_required
def review(ID):
form = ReviewForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
review = Ratings(User_id = current_user.id, Score_given = form.score.data, Film_id = ID)
db.session.add(review)
db.session.commit()
flash('Thanks for your review')
return redirect(url_for('index'))
return render_template('review.html', title='Review Page', form=form)
The following error is what I get when I run it:
File "/home/jc/Desktop/Lokal/DevopsAssig/microblog/Kilfinnan/lib/python3.5/site-packages/werkzeug/routing.py", line 1768, in build
raise BuildError(endpoint, values, method, self)
werkzeug.routing.BuildError: Could not build url for endpoint 'review'. Did you forget to specify values ['ID']?
From this I assume that the issue is with the ID variable within this template. My searchings and learnings led me to believe that {% set %} in the index template would let me declare the ID variable and then use it in the dynamic.
Try this:
{% block content %}
<h1>
Hello, {{ current_user.username }}!
Welcome to our extensive video library:
</h1>
{% for film in mockfilms %}
<div>
<a href="{{ film.video }}">
<img src="{{ film.image }}" alt="doh" style="width:200px;height:200px;border:0;" />
</a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="{{ url_for('review', ID=film.oid) }}">
Leave a review here!
</a>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
Ultimately your solution was quite close, but it is not necessary to use the Jinja set command when you need to pass the variable into url_for() function using the keyword for the parameter. You could still do it using {% set ID = film.oid %} but it would be a bit superfluous.
Try to provide key=value arguments into your url_for function.
Something like this
">Leave a review here!
Also Flask have a great documentation, Flask docs
I am using ajax to sort the data which came from search results.
Now I am wondering whether it is possible to render just some part of html so that i can load this way:
$('#result').html(' ').load('/sort/?sortid=' + sortid);
I am doing this but I am getting the whole html page as response and it is appending the whole html page to the existing page which is terrible.
this is my views.py
def sort(request):
sortid = request.GET.get('sortid')
ratings = Bewertung.objects.order_by(sortid)
locations = Location.objects.filter(locations_bewertung__in=ratings)
return render_to_response('result-page.html',{'locs':locations},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
how can I render only that <div id="result"> </div> from my view function? or what am I doing here wrong?
From what I understand you want to treat the same view in a different way if you receive an ajax request.
I would suggest splitting your result-page.html into two templates, one that contains only the div that you want, and one that contains everything else and includes the other template (see django's include tag).
In your view then you can do something like the following:
def sort(request):
sortid = request.GET.get('sortid')
ratings = Bewertung.objects.order_by(sortid)
locations = Location.objects.filter(locations_bewertung__in=ratings)
if request.is_ajax():
template = 'partial-results.html'
else:
template = 'result-page.html'
return render_to_response(template, {'locs':locations},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
results-page.html:
<html>
<div> blah blah</div>
<div id="results">
{% include "partial-results.html" %}
</div>
<div> some more stuff </div>
</html>
partial-results.html:
{% for location in locs %}
{{ location }}
{% endfor %}
I am using Django to build a website.
I have a context processor setup that looks something like this:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
...
"mysite.context_processors.mystandardvariables"
)
This adds some standard variables that I like to use in templates, such as SITE_NAME and SITE_ROOT.
I have just created my first custom template tag and I find that I cannot access these standard variables.
I don't get any errors and my page displays ok, it's just that the variable that I want are not available.
To check which variables are available I already used {% debug %}.
My tag looks like this:
#register.inclusion_tag('search/search_snippet.html', takes_context = True)
def search(context):
form = forms.SearchForm()
return {'form': form }
The template for the tag looks like this:
<form action="{{ SITE_ROOT }}search" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<table>
{{ form.as_table }}
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
I am including the search tag in my home page like this:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load search_tags %}
{% block content %}
{% search %}
{% endblock %}
To answer my own question, I figured out a way to do what I want using a normal template tag rather than an inclusion tag.
#register.tag
def search(parser, token):
return SearchNode()
class SearchNode(template.Node):
def render(self, context):
return render_to_string('search/search_snippet.html',
{ 'form' : forms.FindForm() }, context)
Here I am passing the context through to the function that renders my template to a string.
I would have preferred to implement this as an inclusion tag as it seems like less work, but I wasn't sure how to get it to work.
If anyone knows how to get this working with an inclusion tag please answer and I'll mark your question as the right answer.
