ModelAdmin

[Mario St-Gelais]

Hello group, first post here.

Quick question.  Can capabilities of ModelAdmin such as list_filter or search_fields be used outside of the admin interface?

I want a view that would allow non logged users to search a site through checkboxes and some search fields possibly and obviously, the way this is implemented in the admin view is rather good.  

Alternatively, what approach can be used in django?

Thanks

Mario

Have you looked at htmx?

https://www.simplecto.com/htmx-and-the-list_editable-in-django-admin/

htmx is very sweet. Essentially, you can replace a named <div id="whatever"></div> on an existing page by calling whatever view you care to write. Your view might have to borrow from the Django code if you really like what it does.

Digressing slightly, I discovered that you can make a link in html using the <a> entity and just replace href="/search" with hx_trigger="/hx_search", for example, so that the existing css works and it looks like an ordinary link.

Cheers

Yes. It does. ModelAdmin classes can define list filters that appear in the right sidebar of the change list page of the admin.

I'm speaking for myself here.

I'm not comfortable with dilution of list content with what appears to be a competing Whatsapp group.

In particular, this thread is one to which I have contributed and if you kidnap the thread you cut me out of my conversation.

In general, if you take conversations away from the list you hide them from core Django devs who are then deprived of information coming from users. Django users are exactly equal to customers of an enterprise and if an enterprise doesn't hear customer feedback it risks becoming irrelevant and possibly going out of business.

I think Whatsapp, Slack etc are all very appropriate places for private conversations. Not so much for a user mutual-support mailing list like this one.

 Thanks for understanding

Cheers

Mike
