I need to join and pass two queries of category and subcategory as elements of an autocomplete select2 dropdown as my django form field as below:
This is my form:
class CategoriesAutocomplete(autocomplete.Select2QuerySetView):
def get_queryset(self):
if not self.request.user.is_authenticated:
return Categories.objects.none()
qs = Categories.objects.all()
if self.q:
qs = qs.filter(Q(name__icontains=self.q))
return qs
def get_result_label(self, item):
return format_html( item.name)
class categories_form(forms.ModelForm):
categories = forms.ModelChoiceField(
queryset= Categories.objects.none(),
widget= autocomplete.ModelSelect2(
url='load_categories',
attrs={
'data-placeholder': 'Select a category',
'data-html': True,
'style': 'min-width: 15em !important;',
}
)
)
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['categories']
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(category_form, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['categories'].queryset = Categories.objects.all()
and in url:
path('ajax/categories-autocomplete', CategoriesAutocomplete.as_view(), name='load_categories'),
for category model:
class Categories(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
brief = models.TextField(null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200)
date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
class Meta:
db_table = "categories"
for sub-category model:
class Sub_Categories(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
brief = models.TextField(null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200)
date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
class Meta:
db_table = "sub_categories"
model to connect category with sub-categories:
class Categories_Sub_Categories(models.Model):
category = models.OneToOneField(Categories, primary_key=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
sub_cat = models.OneToOneField(Sub_Categories, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
class Meta:
db_table = "categories_sub-categories"
and in Post model:
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=50)
descript = HTMLField(blank=True, null=True)
categories = models.ForeignKey(Categories, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
subcategories = models.ForeignKey(Sub_Categories, blank=True, null=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
date = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
UPDATE:
The answer provided by @ha-neul is working just there is a bug. I show it with an example:
This is what expect in the dropdown:
**Asia**
China
Malaysia
India
Tajikistan
Iran
Qatar
**Europe**
Germany
Italy
Spain
Netherlands
France
**Africa**
Gana
...
But this is what I see:
**Asia**
China
Malaysia
**Europe**
Netherlands
France
Sweden
Norway
**Asia**
India
Tajikistan
Iran
**Europe**
Germany
Italy
**Asia**
Qatar
**Africa**
Gana
...
**America**
....
**Europe**
Spain
in the SubCategory table I have something like:
id ........... category_id
1 1
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 3
6 1
7 2
I am following this package. Any idea to make me even closer to the solution would be appreciated!!
