As per 'https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/releases/1.2.4/ #restricted-filters-in-admin-interface' to be able to create GET parameters on the fly one has to add it to the `ModelAdmin.list_filter` setting.
That's what I have been doing however on my latest project I am using a custom admin filter that returns active entires only so my GET filter queries are now throwing: SuspiciousOperation at /admin/time_sheets/timesheetentry/ Filtering by project__company__id__exact not allowed I have set the custom's filter parameter_name = 'project__company__id' or `project__company` but the result is the same. Is this a bug? how does one list `active__company` so that GET parameters work? As a work around for now I added both my custom filter and 'project__company' to the `list_filter` setting. # ./admin.py class TimeSheetEntryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): ... list_filter = ['employee', 'status', ActiveCompaniesFilter, ..., 'project__company`] # ./admin_filters.py ... class ActiveCompaniesFilter(SimpleListFilter): title = _('active companies') parameter_name = 'project__company__id' def lookups(self, request, model_admin): lookup_list = Company.objects.active().values_list('id', 'name').distinct() return lookup_list def queryset(self, request, queryset): if self.value(): return queryset.filter(project__company=self.value()) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
