AJAXWidgetComboBox in admin?

[zenx]

Just wanted to know if there are any implementations of the
AJAXWidgetComboBox for the ForeignKey relationship inputs in the admin
forms (instead of using raw_id_admin=True)
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AJAXWidgetComboBox

Thank you!

Nothing right now. Currently the admin interface doesn't use any AJAX,
but it has been under discussion for a while to implement it.

If you did wish to use it, you could probably modify the admin
interface fairly easily to implement it (w/o changing the actual
django.contrib.admin) package. There are other threads and articles on
the wiki about doing this, but feel free to ask if they don't help.

Ok. Thank you Chris!

Hi,

I have a large revamp of this code that i've been meaning to upload to
the wiki for a while. I'll try to do it today or tomorrow. The new
code uses the newer dojo Select widget (which I wrote incidentally :).
I've also written a templatetag to make it easier to use the widget in
your templates.

As for integrating it into the admin: I haven't gotten too far with
that unfortunately. Please let me know if you are successful.

Hi,

I've updated the tutorial and code for the AJAX Select widget [1] .
This code is extracted from a larger project so hopefully I've got
everything there. Let me know if you are missing anything.
