How to do it ?

[Ivan Goncalves]

I need to do a search in related fields in Django Admin, as below:

Suppose I have these 2 models in the models.py:

class business(models.Model):

    name=models.CharField(max_length=40, blank=True, null=True)

    

class phone(models.Model):

    business=models.ForeignKey(business, verbose_name='Business',blank=False)    

    number=models.CharField(max_length=40, blank=True, null=True)

And in the admin.py i have:

class businessAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    model=business

    search_fields = phone__number

    **  How do we make this search work? Ie, bring me all companies that possess the phone number entered by the User. ??? **

I think you're posting in the wrong forum. This forum concerns a specific add-on to Django - not Django itself.

Try http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/topics

However - in answer to your question this should work: search_fields = [phone__number]

Sorry. Forgot the quotes: search_fields = ['phone__number']
