Filters

[oscarmlage]

Django Admin has filters for the listings, something like:

    list_filter = ('provider', 'date', 'paid', 'registered')
    list_filter = (('date', DateRangeFilter),
                   ('customer', admin.RelatedOnlyFieldListFilter),)

is converted in something like:

I've not thought about how it could be done in a simple way, maybe something similar to widgets:

1. Declare the filter field and type, i.e.: ('date', DateFilter),('customer', RelatedFilter) ('status', BoolFilter)...
2. Define the action for every kind of filter: date <= request.input, customer.pk=request.input, status = True/False...
3. Define how to paint the widget of every filter (date selector, just a link, dropdown select...)

Brainstorming mode is open :)

Sound good, I did something similar in other project for django admin view, maybe this could help https://github.com/luisza/django-cruds-adminlte/blob/filter/cruds_adminlte/filter.py mode of use:

# do a form ticketForm
class ticketFilter(FormFilter):
    template = "filter_template.html"
    title = "ticket filter title"
    form = ticketForm
    form_instance = None
    remove_params = ['filtro', 'field_text', 'otherautocompletefield_text']
    map_parameters = {'cicle': 'acrrosmodelworks__ciclo',
                      'othermapfield': 'other model field'}

I have no time this week to implement it, but as summary with this you can put whatever form you want to filter, also forms than has autocomplete (django-ajaxselect).

One think more it's also important include a preserver filter feature so search and filter could work in the same view.

Other thing. Django admin filter thieft a lot of space show filter, maybe we can put some vertical colapse to show or hide filter

PR #40 help to solve this :), maybe a look revision needed.
