Installation and usage

Requirements:

• Django 1.3
• django-mptt

settings.py

    TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS += ('adminfilter.context_processors.filter_context_processor', )
    MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES += ('adminfilter.middleware.FilterMiddleware', )
    INSTALLED_APPS += ("admin_filter", )

templates/admin/change_list.html

The next step is to add the following line to the directory 'templates/admin/change_list.html' before the end tag </ form> (there is only one tag in the template)

    {% include "includes/filter_form_hidden.html" %}
    </ form>

forms.py

    import adminfilter

    ProductFilterForm class (adminfilter.FilterForm):
        """Product FilterForm for admin"""

        gender = admin_filter.ChoiceField(q='gender', choices=choices.GENDERS)
        city =  admin_filter.ChoiceField(q='feelings', choices=choices.CITY)

Parameter 'q' should contain name of the model attribute, where q='gender' q='city' creates the following query:

        Product.objects.filter(gender=value, city=value)

Another option is giving django.db.models.Q object to 'q' parameter:

        def custom_query(value):
            return Q(pub_date=value) | Q(pub_date=date(2005, 5, 6))

The query looks like this:

        Product.objects.filter(
            Q(pub_date=value) | Q(pub_date=date(2005, 5, 6))
        )

List of available form fields:

• Charfield
• IntegerField
• ChoiceField
• DateField
• TypedChoiceField
• BooleanField
• ModelChoiceField

admin.py

Change admin class to FilterAdmin:

    from adminfilter import FilterAdmin

    import project.product.forms ProductFilterForm

    class ProductAdmin(FilterAdmin):
        """
            Administration of Product Model
        """
        filter_form = ProductFilterForm
