Django has a really nice select multiple field, for choosing multiple items at once with a Javascript chooser..
It is really handy to use when there is a large number of items that have to be chosen from in a select. I am using with JQuery.
To do this, grab SelectFilter2.js from the django-admin media folder, or get it from Django’s GitHub repository. Then to initialize it you can put the following into your code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.each($("select[multiple]"), function () {
// "Locations" can be any label you want
SelectFilter.init(this.id, "Locations", 0, "/media/");
});
});
$.each($("select[multiple]"), function () {
// "Locations" can be any label you want
SelectFilter.init(this.id, "Locations", 0, "/media/");
});
});
This will use the SelectFilter on all select multiples and give it a label of locations.
For reference the functions are:
function(field_id, field_name, is_stacked, admin_media_prefix)
So you could use:
SelectFilter.init("#MySelect", "Test", 0, "{{ MEDIA_URL}}img/");
Then all that needs is styling the select multiple.
