Related Autocomplete Filter

This filter is similar to a regular foreign key field filter, with two differences:

• it has a nice AJAX-powered autocomplete UI (straight from Grappelli)
• does not load all possible filter values in HTML - good for situations with many of related objects

Usage

Configure Grappelli autocomplete feature as described here. Both Model method and SETTINGS value will work fine. For the inpatient, here is the SETTINGS value:

GRAPPELLI_AUTOCOMPLETE_SEARCH_FIELDS = {
    "myapp": {
        "mycategory": ("id__iexact", "name__icontains",),
    }
}

In admin.py add:

from grappelli_filters import RelatedAutocompleteFilter, FiltersMixin

class MyModelAdmin(FiltersMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = ( ... ('field_name', RelatedAutocompleteFilter), ... )

Search Filter

This filter allows string searches over a single field. Several filters combined provide better control over the resulting list then does the built-in django-admin search_fields feature.

Usage

In admin.py add:

from grappelli_filters SearchFilter

class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_filter = ( ... ('field_name', SearchFilter), ... )

Case-sensitive Search Filter

Similar to Search Filter, but searches are case-sensitive.

Usage

Use SearchFilterC instead of SearchFilter
