I installed Django-Select2 and applied it to my project, but I'm having an error that I can't wrap my head around.
Here is my forms.py file:
from django.forms import modelform_factory
from django_select2 import forms as s2forms
from .models import Employer, JobListing, Category_JobListing
class LocationWidget(s2forms.ModelSelect2Widget):
search_fields = [
"location__icontains",
]
def get_queryset(self):
return Employer._meta.get_field("location").choices
EmployerForm = modelform_factory(Employer, fields=["name", "location", "short_bio", "website", "profile_picture"], widgets={"location": LocationWidget})
views.py file (only the relevant code parts):
def submitJobListing(request):
if request.method == "POST":
employer_form = EmployerForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
employer = employer_form.save()
return HttpResponse("Your form has been successfully submitted.")
else:
employer_form = EmployerForm()
context = {
"employer_form": employer_form,
}
return render(request, 'employers/submit_job_listing.html', context)
submit_job_listing.html (my template file):
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ employer_form }}
<input type="submit" value= "Submit">
</form>
With this code, I get:
AttributeError at /submit-job-listing/
'list' object has no attribute 'none'
The output says that the error is related to {{ employer_form }} in the template and return render(request, 'employers/submit_job_listing.html', context) in the view.
I know that this error occurs because I have overridden the get_queryset() method in the LocationWidget, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
What is wrong here and how do I fix it?
Update 1:
I get an issue saying NoReverseMatch at /submit-job-listing/ Reverse for 'location_choices' not found. 'location_choices' is not a valid view function or pattern name.. This is most likely an issue with the integration of the answer's code within my overall project. I don't understand why it is happening. The URL I'm trying to access when I get the error is http://127.0.0.1:8000/submit-job-listing/.
Here is the relevant code:
forms.py:
from django.forms import modelform_factory
from django_select2 import forms as s2forms
from .models import Employer, JobListing, Category
from django import forms

It looks like you just want a light1 widget.
If choices is a large static list, then you may want a heavy widget.
Replace LocationWidget with s2forms.Select2Widget.
forms.py:
EmployerForm = modelform_factory(
Employer,
fields=["name", "location", "short_bio", "website"],
widgets={"location": s2forms.Select2Widget})
Instead of inheriting s2forms.ModelSelect2Widget for LocationWidget:
s2forms.HeavySelect2Widget and specify data_view, andforms.py:
from django.db.models.fields import BLANK_CHOICE_DASH
class LocationWidget(s2forms.HeavySelect2Widget):
data_view = "location_choices" # "employers:location_choices"
def __init__(self, attrs=None, choices=(), **kwargs):
super().__init__(attrs=attrs, choices=choices, data_view=self.data_view, **kwargs)
@property
def choices(self):
return BLANK_CHOICE_DASH # Avoid rendering all choices in HeavySelect2Widget
@choices.setter
def choices(self, value):
pass
urls.py:
# app_name = "employers"
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.submitEmployer, name='index'),
path('choices/location.json', LocationChoicesView.as_view(), name='location_choices'),
