I'm trying to make a search form for Django.
Its a typical search form and then returns a table of matches. I wish to paginate the tables returned.
The problem lies in the Previous and Next buttons.
The links for the return query goes to /records/search/?query=a (search sample is a)
The page outputs the table and its previous and next links. However the links redirect to /records/search/?page=2 and the page displays a blank table.
Any help on which links I should pass for Prev/Next?
search.html:
{% extends 'blank.html' %}
{% block content %}
<div class="row">
<form id="search-form" method="get" action=".">
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
</div>
<br><br>
//display table code//
{% if is_paginated %}
<div class="pagination">
<span class="step-links">
{% if agent_list.has_previous %}
forrige
{% endif %}
<span class="current">
Page {{ agent_list.number }} of {{ agent_list.paginator.num_pages }}.
</span>
{% if agent_list.has_next %}
Next
{% endif %}
</span>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
and the search view:
def search_page(request):
form = SearchForm()
agents = []
show_results=False
if request.GET.has_key('query'):
show_results=True
query=request.GET['query'].strip()
if query:
form=SearchForm({'query': query})
agents = \
Agent.objects.filter(Q(name__icontains=query))
paginator = Paginator(agents, 10)
page = request.GET.get('page')
try:
agents = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
agents = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
agents = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
variables = RequestContext(request,
{ 'form': form,
'agent_list': agents,
'show_results': show_results,
'is_paginated': True,
}
)
return render_to_response('search.html', variables)
I've seen the similar questions but I can't understand/make them work. Any help?
Edit:
For a quickfix (haven't really looked at the cons)
I added a variable in my view:
variables = RequestContext(request,
{ 'form': form,
'agent_list': agents,
'show_results': show_results,
'is_paginated': True,
**'query': query,**
}
)
Where query without the quotes is the recieved query variable.
Then simply change the URL to:
Previous
If you have a better way of answering the question, please do or appending a URL to your currently opened URL.
I would recommend putting the solution in a template tag like so:
myapp/templatetags/mytemplatetags.py:
from django import template
register = template.Library()
#register.simple_tag
def url_replace(request, field, value):
d = request.GET.copy()
d[field] = value
return d.urlencode()
#register.simple_tag
def url_delete(request, field):
d = request.GET.copy()
del d[field]
return d.urlencode()
Then from templates do:
{% load mytemplatetags %}
...
previous
you can use {{ request.get_full_path }} this tag to get current url.
Next
this worked for me
The below works before and after a search form has been submitted:
Views.py
class PostListView(ListView):
model = Post #.objects.select_related().all()
template_name = 'erf24/home.html' # <app>/<model>_<viewtype>.html
context_object_name = 'posts' # default >> erf24/post_list.html
ordering = ['date_posted']
paginate_by = 3
def is_valid_queryparam(param):
return param != '' and param is not None
def invalid_queryparam(param):
return param == '' and param is None
class SearchView(ListView):
model = Post #.objects.select_related().all()
template_name = 'erf24/home.html' # <app>/<model>_<viewtype>.html
context_object_name = 'posts' # default >> erf24/post_list.html
ordering = ['date_posted']
paginate_by = 3
def get_queryset(self): # new
key = self.request.GET.get('key')
minp = self.request.GET.get('min')
maxp = self.request.GET.get('max')
if is_valid_queryparam(key):
obj = Post.objects.filter(Q(content__icontains=key) | Q(location__icontains=key)).distinct().order_by('date_posted')
if is_valid_queryparam(minp):
obj = Post.objects.filter(Q(price__gte=minp)).distinct().order_by('date_posted')
if is_valid_queryparam(maxp):
obj = Post.objects.filter(Q(price__lte=maxp)).distinct().order_by('date_posted')
if is_valid_queryparam(minp) & is_valid_queryparam(maxp):
obj = Post.objects.filter(Q(price__gte=minp) & Q(price__lte=maxp)).distinct().order_by('date_posted')
if is_valid_queryparam(key) & is_valid_queryparam(minp) & is_valid_queryparam(maxp):
obj = Post.objects.filter(Q(content__icontains=key) | Q(location__icontains=key)).distinct()
obj = obj.filter(Q(price__gte=minp) & Q(price__lte=maxp)).order_by('date_posted')
if invalid_queryparam(key) & invalid_queryparam(minp) & invalid_queryparam(maxp):
obj = Post.objects.all()
return obj
url.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', PostListView.as_view(), name='erf24-home'),
path('search/', SearchView.as_view(), name='erf24-search'),
]

{% endif %}
Worked like a charm :) Enjoy!
You can use {{ request.get_full_path }} template tag
Next
you can use this, I use it because I use filters in the url itself, so all the url params are used to build the next or previous url
import re
from django import template
register = template.Library()
PAGE_NUMBER_REGEX = re.compile(r'(page=[0-9]*[\&]*)')
#register.simple_tag
def append_page_param(value,pageNumber=None):
'''
remove the param "page" using regex and add the one in the pageNumber if there is one
'''
value = re.sub(PAGE_NUMBER_REGEX,'',value)
if pageNumber:
if not '?' in value:
value += f'?page={pageNumber}'
elif value[-1] != '&':
value += f'&page={pageNumber}'
else:
value += f'page={pageNumber}'
return value
then, in your pagination nav you can call it like this:
{% append_page_param request.get_full_path page_obj.previous_page_number %}

Error:
ValueError at /course/1/
The view course.views.CourseView didn't return an HttpResponse object. It returned None instead.
I had a view CourseView and when I try to access the detail of the corresponding course by clicking the hyperlink {{ course.name }} from the template course_list.html, I received the error message showing that it didn't return an HttpResponse object. I do not know what is missing in order to have the details accessible even though I had set the pk_url_kwarg?
You forget to add return super().dispatch(request,*args,**kwargs) and the end of dispatch function (you add it, only in if condition)
change this
self.extra_context.update({'course':self.course})
return super().dispatch(request,*args,**kwargs)
To this:
self.extra_context.update({'course':self.course})
return super().dispatch(request,*args,**kwargs)
return super().dispatch(request,*args,**kwargs)
I have a blog-type application where the homepage displays posts with some information and with an Add Comment form. The form is intended to write to my Comments() model in models.py for that specific post.
The Problem: is that because I am looping through the posts in home.html, the post.id is not available to the home function in routes.py. So, when the form is validated, the comment is applied to all the posts, not just the one in which the comment is added.
The question: how can I get the relevant post.id in the home function from the Jinja forloop and have the comment be applied to the specific post, not just all the posts on the homepage?? I'm not seeing my logic/syntax error - what am I missing here? Thanks
The resulting error: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'id'
which of course makes sense because the application has no clue what post we are referencing in the Jinja2 forloop in home.html.
here is the Comments db model in models.py:
class Comments(db.Model):
comment_id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable=True, primary_key=False)
post_id = db.Column(db.Integer, nullable=True, primary_key=False)
comment = db.Column(db.String(2000), unique=False, nullable=True)
comment_date = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, default=datetime.utcnow)

A couple of options:
Add the post.id to the url as a parameter or arg, here's the arg method:
Add the url to the form and set the post.id as the arg:
<form method="POST" action="{{url_for('home', post_id=post.id)}}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
And in the route:
new_comment = Comments(user_id=current_user.id,
post_id=request.args.get('post_id', type=int),
comment=comment_form.comment_string.data)
OR
Add a hidden field to your form, and set the value of that to be the post.id:
Add a hidden field onto your form:
post_id = HiddenField()
You'll need to replace the CSRF render (hidden_tag()) to prevent auto rendering of the post_id field:
{{ comment_form.csrf_token }}
Next, set the value of your hidden field data (credit to this answer for this function):
{% set p = comment_form.post_id.process_data(post.id) %}
{{ comment_form.post_id() }}
and finally, in the route, (remove the add_comment declaration):
def home():
# Omitted ...
if comment_form.validate_on_submit():
new_comment = Comments(user_id=current_user.id,
post_id=comment_form.post_id.data,
comment=comment_form.comment_string.data)
db.session.add(new_comment)
# etc...
Hope this helps, note it's not tested
i want to display an image if nothing could be found trough my searchg function.
I setup 2 serach functions. one for elasticsearch and the other one for a local search query view, anyways the one for elastic does not seems to work or at least it does not display the "not found" image if the object_list is empty, any idea?
elastic_search_function:
def globalsearch_elastic(request):
qs = request.GET.get('qs')
page = request.GET.get('page')
if qs:
qs = PostDocument.search().query("multi_match", query=qs, fields=["title", "content", "tag"])
qs = qs.to_queryset()
else:
qs = ''
paginator = Paginator(qs, 10) # Show 10 results per page
try:
qs = paginator.page(page)
except PageNotAnInteger:
qs = paginator.page(1)
except EmptyPage:
qs = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages)
return render(request, 'myproject/search/search_results_elastic.html', {'object_list':qs})
template.html
<body>
<h1 class="center">Search results <a class="fa fa-search"></a></h1>
<hr class="hr-style">
{% if object_list.count == 0 %}
<div class="search_not_found">
<img src={% static "/gfx/sys/not_found.png" %}>
<h2>Nothing found here ...</h2>
</div>
{% else %}
{% for post in object_list %}
<div class="post">
<h3><u>{{ post.title }}</u></h3>
<p>{{ post.content|safe|slice:":800"|linebreaksbr}}
{% if post.content|length > 300 %}
... more
{% endif %}</p>
<div class="date">
<a>Published by: <a href="{% url 'profile' pk=user.pk %}" >{{ post.author }}</a></a><br>

I'm trying to show User's search query in the Search Box on the results page. A very basic problem, but for some reason, it doesn't work for me
My views.py looks like:

query = request.POST['query'].strip()
if query:
print(query)
print(type(query))
# Run our Webhose search function to get the results list!
result_list = run_query(query)
context_dict = {'result_list': result_list, 'query': query}
context_dict = {'result_list': result_list}
return render(request, 'rango/search.html', context_dict)
my search.html template is below:
{% block body_block %}
<div>
<h1>Search with Rango</h1>
<br/>
<form class="form-inline" id="user_form"
method="post" action="{% url 'search' %}">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<input class="form-control" type="text" size="50"
name="query" value="{{query}}" id="query" />
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" name="submit"
value="Search">Search</button>
</form>
<div>
{% if result_list %}
<h3>Results</h3>
<!-- Display search results in an ordered list -->
<div class="list-group">
{% for result in result_list %}
<div class="list-group-item">
<h4 class="list-group-item-heading">
{{ result.title }}
</h4>
<p class="list-group-item-text">{{ result.summary }}</p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
Any advice?
My context_dict was being overwritten.
Please find the solution below:
def search(request):
query = ''
result_list = []
if request.method == 'POST':
query = request.POST['query'].strip()
if query:
print(query)
print(type(query))
# Run our Webhose search function to get the results list!
result_list = run_query(query)
context_dict = {'result_list': result_list, 'query': query}
return render(request, 'rango/search.html', context_dict)
I am working in ang django project onlinevoting. In my template I use
looping to loop all the positions and also the candidates. I have trouble in saving many data at once in one attribute for example in my model I have:
class Vote(models.Model):
candidate_id = models.ForeignKey('Candidate', blank=True, null=True)
election_id = models.ForeignKey('Election', blank=True, null=True)
user_id = models.ForeignKey('User', blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return "%s %s" % (user_id.first_name, election_id.year)
and in my template vote.html:
<form method="POST" class="form-horizontal" role="form">
{% if success %}
<div class="alert alert-success">
×
<strong>Success!</strong> {{ success }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% if exist %}
<div class="alert alert-warning">
×
<strong>Warning!</strong> {{ exist }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group ">
{% for position in positions %}
<label for="cname" class="control-label col-lg-2">{{ position }}<span class="required">*</span></label>
{% for candidate in candidates %}
{% if position.pk == candidate.position_id.pk %}
<div class="col-lg-3">
<input type="checkbox" name="candidate_id" value="{{ candidate.pk }}">{{ candidate }}<br>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit">Save</button>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
How can I add/save all the candidates? because the user can select many candidates and I want to save them at once. This is my views.py
def vote(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated and request.user.is_admin:
candidates = Candidate.objects.all()
election = Election.objects.all().filter(is_active=True)
positions = Position.objects.all()
user = get_object_or_404(User, pk=request.user.pk)
try:
if request.method == 'POST':
candidate_id = request.POST['candidate_id']
vote = Vote.objects.create(candidate_id=candidate_id)
vote.save()
vote.election_id = election
vote.save()
vote.user_id = user
vote.save()
else:
form = VoteForm()
return render(request,'system/vote.html', {'form':form, 'candidates': candidates,
'election': election, 'user': user,
'positions': positions})
except:
exist = "ERROR!"
form = VoteForm()
return render(request,'system/vote.html', {'form':form, 'exist': exist})
elif not request.user.is_authenticated:
return redirect('system.views.user_login')
