Question

Answer 1

A:

Can you explain your problem a bit more....why do you want to pass a variable to django admin... also you cant catch GET variable like this... Either use:

request.GET['name']

or

request.GET.get('name','')

.get is a instancemethod not a dictionary.

i used it request.GET.get('name',''). i want to pass the varible to admin to tell, which reports to show up. q=0 to show the reports who submitted. q=1 to show the rpoets who is been assigned and etc.

i can only do that by use parameter q. which q is used by search filed. it was fine. but now i need to use search field. and q will be used for that. so i need to really fix it.

u may think why i dont think POST. that reason is that, if there is more reports that one page can show. djang admin use p=1, p=2 to use multiple pages to show all report. but if i dont use GET it will loose track

Can you post your models. Do you want to filter the admin site results ? I think what you want is a list_filter = ['field1', 'field2'] option in the admin.py of your model.This will add a filter similar to what you want to achieve through get.

Answer 2

A:

Im sitting trying to solve this one as well. I can pass arguments in by having a form on one of the change-lists and overriding the queryset method in admin. However it will not remember the arguments unless I get them in the url for some reason. Any ideas?

so far. i havent figure it out yet.. currently i am using javascript to hack it in order to make it work.

Grey 2010-08-17 21:08:20

OK, would you mind sharing the solution? Im thinking bout writing a filter cos that would make the parameters stick.
