Searching with respect to gender and BY name

[Surya Adhikari]

# my coding looks like this in views.py but somehow it only search by name no matter which gender i select .what am i doing wrong?

def search(request):

if request.method=='POST':

srch = request.POST['srh'] 

srchs =  request.POST['gender']

if srch and srchs:

match = Snippet.objects.filter(Q(name__istartswith=srch)) 

matchs = Snippet.objects.filter(Q(gender__iexact=srchs))

if match and matchs:

return render (request,'search.html',{'sr':match})

#return render (request,'search.html',{'sr':match})

else:

messages.error(request,'no result found')

# return HttpResponse("<h1>No name found please Add names  </h1>")

else:

# return HttpResponseRedirect('/search/')

return render(request,'search.html')

return render(request,'search.html')

Hello,

I think it should work if you build the query sequentially. Like:

def search(request):

if request.method=='POST':

srch = request.POST['srh']

srchs = request.POST['gender']

if srchs or srch:

query = Snippet.objects

if srch:

query = query.filter(Q(name__istartswith=srch))

if srchs:

query = query.filter(Q(gender__iexact=srchs))

if query.count() > 0:

return render (request,'search.html',{'sr': query})

else:

messages.error(request,'no result found')

return HttpResponse("<h1>No name found please Add names </h1>")

else:

return render(request,'search.html')

return render(request,'search.html')
