Facing problem in implemention (especially template-related)

[AvadootNachankar]

• I have gone through your documentation and tried setting-up settings, urls, template and app-specific-autocomplete-registry file which are as follows:

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'autocomplete_light',  # the very first line
    ...
)

urls.py

from django import VERSION as django_version
if django_version < (1, 7):
    # import autocomplete_light
    import autocomplete_light.shortcuts as acl  # after referring test_project
    acl.autodiscover()

# Also kept these lines above all views' import statements

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', home),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^autocomplete/', include('autocomplete_light.urls')),
    ...

autocomplete_light_registry.py

from autocomplete_light import shortcuts as acl_shortcuts

acl_shortcuts.register(ClassA)

forms.py

from autocomplete_light import shortcuts as acl_shortcuts

class ClassA(acl_shortcuts.ModelForm):
   ...

base_template.html

    ...
    <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.0.min.js"></script>
    {% include 'autocomplete_light/static.html' %}
    ...

But then I stuck with template related changes which are mentioned over here. I don't know how to go ahead.

template.html - I'm rendering field on template in the following manner:

                  <div class="form-group">
                      <label class="control-label col-sm-4 {{form-name.field-name.css_classes}}" for="{{cf.field-name.id_for_label}}"> {{ cf.field-name.label }}</label>
                      <div class="col-sm-4">
                          {{form-name.field-name|addcss:"form-control"}}
                          <span class="error">{{form-name.field-name.errors}}</span>
                      </div>
                  </div>

Your help is greatly appreciated, also it would be nice if you can give a small demo because your demos were not working when I given a try (facing problem in database setup required for test project to run after running command: _./manage.py citieslight).

You can't use any more recent version can you ?

But then I stuck with template related changes which are mentioned over here. I don't know how to go ahead.

Open static.html, you see that it's just trying to load some JS. If the JS is loaded in your page that it should work. Else, there might be some JS error in some browser version, in that case, paste browser version and JS error.

demos were not working when I given a try (facing problem in database setup required for test project to run after running command: ./manage.py cities_light).

Define not working, post commands, outputs, tracebacks, versions please.

• Please specify which jquery version should I prefer.
• Is there any issue with importing shortcuts or should I use _autocompletelight directly? For e.g.,

from autocomplete_light import shortcuts as acl_shortcuts
class ClassA(acl_shortcuts.ModelForm)
   ...
==============

import autocomplete_light
class ClassA(autocomplete_light.ModelForm):
   ...

• Do I have to write any specific lines of code in template for given foreign-key field? Here, I am especially asking for Foreign-key fields which I was defining in models.py as:

xyz = models.ForeignKey(XYZ)
abc = models.ForeignKey(ABC, null=True, blank=True)

Tests are run against jquery-2.1.4.js For Django 1.9 support, you should use autocomplete_light.shortcuts. Is there anywhere left in the docs or example code that led you to think otherwise ? There is no extra template code to add for the autocomplete to work, but if you want it to be fancy then you may.
