How-to restrict cities_light autocomplete to display only Region USA cities?

[coderam]

Here is my code:

class CityAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteModelBase):

https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/issues/228

#search_fields = ['^name', ]
search_fields = ['search_names', 'alternate_names']

autocomplete_light.register(City, CityAutocomplete)

Well it depends, why do you want to display only a subset of regions in your database ?

Does the region subset depend on a request variable ? then http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.org/en/v2/api.html?highlight=choices_for#autocomplete_light.autocomplete.model.AutocompleteModel.choices_for_request

Does the region subset depend on some other field value ? then http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.org/en/v2/dependant.html

Do you have regions that you don't want in the database ? then http://django-cities-light.readthedocs.org/en/latest/database.html#module-cities_light.signals

Here is what I added just now -- for some reason, all countries are still visible. I am trying to filter only "US" cities:

class CityAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteModelBase):

https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/issues/228

#search_fields = ['^name', ]
search_fields = ['search_names', 'alternate_names']

def choices_for_request(self):

    choices = self.choices.all()
    choices = choices.filter(country__code2='US')

    return self.order_choices(choices)[0:self.limit_choices]

autocomplete_light.register(City, CityAutocomplete)

Then your filter doesn't work. Open the autocomplete url page directly for easier debugging. Also try import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() in your choices_for_request() function. Also don't override it like that, it's better to do like this: http://django-autocomplete-light.readthedocs.org/en/v2/autocomplete.html#overriding-the-queryset-of-a-model-autocomplete-to-secure-an-autocomplete

Still not working -- all countries are showing up -- sorry, I'm not the best programmer ;)

class CityAutocomplete(autocomplete_light.AutocompleteModelBase):

https://github.com/yourlabs/django-autocomplete-light/issues/228

#search_fields = ['^name', ]
model = City
search_fields = ['search_names', 'alternate_names']

def choices_for_request(self):
    self.choices = self.choices.filter(country__code2='US')

    #return self.order_choices(choices)[0:self.limit_choices]
    return super(CityAutocomplete, self).choices_for_request()

autocomplete_light.register(City, CityAutocomplete)

Ok, try to put import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() at the beginning of that function.

My guess is that it's just not using that autocomplete class :D

You are right, it is not even calling that function. I tried placing the filter directly in the Form class:

class RentalSearchForm(Form):

city = forms.ModelChoiceField(City.objects.filter(*country__code2='US'*),

widget=autocomplete_light.ChoiceWidget('CityAutocomplete', attrs={'novalidate':'novalidate'}), required=False)

Still not working...

Did you try opening /autocomplete/ or wherever you included autocomplete_light.urls to get the debug view ? (note: be logged as superadmin).

Oh! I registered 2 different CityAutocomplete classes with the same name. One was over-riding the other... that's why I didn't see any changes happening...

Thanks!
