Filters in Search

[dtdave]

I have an issue that I have got myself into a mess trying to solve, so any help would be appreciated.

I have implemented a simple search solution that works fine and this is my view:

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.views.generic import ListView

from jobs.models import Job

from django.db.models import Q

from .filters import JobFilter

class JobListView(ListView):

    model = Job

    paginate_by = 10

    template_name = 'jobs/job_list.html'

    def get_queryset(self):

        queryset = Job.objects.all()

        q = self.request.GET.get("q")

        if q:

            queryset = queryset.filter(

                Q(title__icontains=q) |

                Q(category__category__icontains=q) |

                Q(description__icontains=q)

            ).distinct()

        self.sort_by = self.request.GET.get('sort_by', 'start_date')

        return queryset.order_by(self.sort_by)

    def get_context_data(self,  **kwargs):

        context = super(JobListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)

        context['title'] = "Job List"

        context['sort_by'] = self.sort_by

        context['object_name'] = "job_list"

        return context

Everything thing works fine with this. However what I would like to do is to allow a person to filter on certain criteria within this page. I have created a separate view using django-filters which achieves this but would like to combine this. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
