You are the author of DAL? Nice to meet you! We use that! We do use version 2 of it, though. We couldn't find a very important feature for us to upgrade to v3: a text autocomplete that is not based on a pk of a model. Also, unfortunately, with the release of Django 1.11, the autocompletes from v2 do not render properly. I haven't had time to look into it, though.

That's why I've been writing AND maintaining apps such as django-autocomplete-light and like, a lot, lot, lot of others. But still, it's always the same code in projects just to override an unusable default form field with something that is usable, in my case. You are free to not consider it a problem you want fixed, when Django renders a ForeignKey form field as a select input with millions options, or when user submits a form that doesn't validate and has to re-upload a file, or when a user is fighting with a datetime input, or with env-vars based settings. Wouldn't it be easier to discuss about solutions, if we already had a few forks out there that have been iterating on solutions for the last years ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
