Package: django-jquery-widgets
This is a pluggable app for Django that currently provide only one extra widget:
ForeignKeySeatchInput. This widget provide search functionallety for foreingkey
fields in a form.NOTE: This django app was created to make it easier for myself to include
extra functionality in some of my django projects. It contains a very small set
of widgets (currently only one), and what widgets are included in the future
are currently only determined by my own personal needs. Do not hesitate to come
with suggestions though.Application contentIncluded widgetsForeignKeySearchInput: An ajax auto-complete widget that replaces the normal
select input.Included for the adminExtendedModelAdmin: An extension of django.admin.ModelAdmin that make it easy
to use the included widgets in the admin view.Example usage:from jquery_widgets.admin import ExtendedModelAdmin
from myapp.models import MyModel

class MyModelAdmin(ExtendedModelAdmin):
     ...
     # Use the ForeignKeySearchInput widget for the field 'user'. Let the
     # search_fields be 'username' and 'email':
     related_search_fields = {'user': ('username', 'email'),}InstallationUsing pip (or easy_install):Stable:$ sudo pip install django-jquery-widgetsDevelopment:$ sudo pip install -e git://github.com/smyrman/django-jquery-widgets.git#egg=django-jquery-widgetsGetting the source repository:If you want to include the code with your django project, rather then
installing it to your system, you can download a recent version and copy the
jquery_widgets folder into your django project.Git:$ git clone git://github.com/smyrman/django-jquery-widgets.gitProject configurationQuick guideIf you use a Unix-flavoured OS and Django >= 1.2, this is all the required
steps to get django-jqury-widgets working:1 Add ‘jquery_widgets’ to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS2 Add This line to your urlconf:url(r'^jqw/', include('jquery_widgets.urls', namespace='jquery-widgets')),3 Symlink static media into your media-root by issuing:$ python manage.py syncdbIf Django >= 1.2 and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is configured in settings, you are
done.Explained1 Add ‘jquery_widgets’ to your settings.INSTALLED_APPS.2 Add This line to your urlconf (replace ‘jqw’ with whatever you like):url(r'^jqw/', include('jquery_widgets.urls', namespace='jquery-widgets')),3 Include application static media:Unix:
Issue ‘python manage.py syncdb’. This will create a symlink to
‘<path>/jquery_widgets/media’, in your MEDIA_ROOT.  The symlink will be named:
‘jquery_widgets’.Windows:
You will have to manually copy the media directory form jquery_widgets to your
MEDIA_ROOT, and renamed it to jquery_widgets.4 Include jQuery:Django <= 1.2:
You can configure settings.JQUERY_URL to point to your jQuery library.If the JQURY_URL setting is not given, the jquery_widgets app will default
to think that jQuery is located at ‘<MEDIA_URL>js/jquery.min.js’.Django >= 1.2:
if the JQURY_URL setting is not given and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is found in your
setings, the jqury_widgets will default to think that jQuery is located at
‘<ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX>js/jquery.min.js’. It will also take some steps to make
sure that jquery is copied back into the global javascript namespace (Django
admin puts jQury in the ‘django.jquery’ namespace).
