Dear django users,
Being rather new to django, I can't wrap my head around the
following:
I am trying to execute a query from a search form. The search form
has three fields, Names, Dates and Places. I want to AND the queries,
so that if Names and Places are filled in, I want to return only
records that match both.
My idea was to build up the condition in a dictionary while looking
through the fields returned from the form like this:
if places:
Q['places'] = Q(persplace__icontains=places)
if names:
Q['names'] = Q(persname__icontains=names)
etc and then concatenate and execute the whole at the end:
results = Person.objects.filter("|".join(Q.values())
However this does not seem to work. I imagine that this is a rather
frequent requirement, so there should be an easy way to do this, but I
just can't figure it out.
Any help appreciated,
Chris
