I've puzzled my way into a corner. Figuring this will be a palm-to-forehead moment.
I have a page on my site which is Paginator-ed for the object list. I'm sticking to the vanilla setup from the docs so when it is in effect I've got a URI query string of '?page=%d' processed via GET. I've added a search form to the page and am passing the form data via GET as well so when a search is in effect I have '?search=%s' on the URI query. I'm incredibly creative (not) so most of this is done very closely modeling the approach at http://www.djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter07/. I can do either of them individually just fine, but I can't figure a clean way to have both pagination and search parameters operate properly across requests as the user selects next/previous, etc. in the page navigation. It works if I manually append the missing query parameter to the URI. How is this typically best handled in Django? I thought about trying to determine uri query in template and dynamically build the nav links to include parameters for search and pagination but I didn't figure a way that wasn't a complete mess. ## view def list_submissions(request): """ Present list of submission logs, paginated. """ search_form = SubmissionLogSearchForm() query = request.GET.get('search', '') if query: qset = ( Q(file_name__icontains=query) | Q(file_md5=query) | Q(file_sha1=query) | Q(submitter__username=query) ) submissionlog_list = SubmissionLog.objects.filter(qset) else: submissionlog_list = SubmissionLog.objects.all() paginator = Paginator(submissionlog_list, 15) # show N logs per page # Make sure page request is an int. If not, deliver first page. try: page = int(request.GET.get('page', '1')) except ValueError: page = 1 # If page request (9999) is out of range, deliver last page of results. try: submissionlogs = paginator.page(page) except (EmptyPage, InvalidPage): submissionlogs = paginator.page(paginator.num_pages) return render_to_response('avsubmit/submissionlog_pages.html', { 'submissionlogs': submissionlogs, 'search_form': search_form, }, context_instance=RequestContext(request)) ## template <h4>Showing {{ submissionlogs.object_list.count }} submission{{ submissionlogs.object_list.count|pluralize }} of {{ submissionlogs.paginator.count }} total</h4> {% if submissionlogs %} <form action="{% url submissionlog_list %}" method="get"> {{ search_form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Search" /> </form> <table> <tr class="tableheader"> <th>File MD5</th><th>File Name</th><th>Submitter</th><th>Submission Date</th> </tr> {% for log in submissionlogs.object_list %} {% cycle 'row1' 'row2' as rowcolors silent %} <tr class="{{ rowcolors }}"> <td style="font-family: monospace; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px;"><a href="{% url submissionlog_detail log.id %}" t itle="{{ log.file_name }} - {{ log.file_magic }}">{{ log.file_md5 }}</a></td> <td>{{ log.file_name }}</td> <td>{{ log.submitter }}</td> <td>{{ log.date_submitted|date:"m/d/Y h:i A" }}</td> </tr> {% endfor %} </table> {% endif %} <div class="pagination"> <span class="step-links"> {% if submissionlogs.has_previous %} <a href="?page={{ submissionlogs.previous_page_number }}"><<</a> {% endif %} <span class="current"> Page {{ submissionlogs.number }} of {{ submissionlogs.paginator.num_pages }} </span> {% if submissionlogs.has_next %} <a href="?page={{ submissionlogs.next_page_number }}">>></a> {% endif %} </span> </div> Thx, -- Darren Spruell phatbuck...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
