Filter_horizontal, applying filter on the right box - chosen items

[Aeh. ABID]

I'm wondering if there is a standard way to add a javascript-based filter on the right box like the one in the  left
when having manytomany relation with filter_horizontal.

Hi,

It's a bit hacky, but I've used filter_horizontal outside of the admin before.

from django.contrib.admin import widgets

class MyForm(forms.Form):
    users = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(
        required=False,
        widget=widgets.FilteredSelectMultiple(verbose_name='Field Name', is_stacked=False),
        queryset=choices_qs,
        initial=initial_qs,
    )

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/admin/css/widgets.css">
<script>function addEvent(obj, evType, fn){obj.addEventListener(evType, fn, false)}</script>
<div>{{ form }}</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>django = {jQuery: $}</script>
<script src="/admin/jsi18n/"></script>
{{ form.media }}

This doesn't answer the question.

Hi,

I mis-read. Sorry. You're looking for a text field above the right box so you can more easily search for items in that box. I have not seen that done before. If nothing else you could try setting it up as an Inline and raw_id_fields.

I know this is question is old but I was looking for the solution myself and couldn't find an quick answer so I ended up just doing it myself. My solution is here https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/10560/

Hi all, 

Are you aware of a standard solution that has been added to django in the meanwhile?

Or adding Dustin's solution to my code is the way to go?

Cheers :)
