Template: <form method=POST action=/Bycategory/> <input type=radio name=andor1 value=1 checked> <input type=radio name=andor1 value=2> <select

  • 0

Template:

<form method='POST' action='/Bycategory/'> <input type='radio' name='andor1' value=1 checked> <input type='radio' name='andor1' value=2> <select id='pathology_id' name='pathology_id'>     {% for pathology in pathology_list %}         <option value='{{ pathology.id }}'>{{ pathology.pathology }}</option>     {% endfor %} </select>

There are actually three search selects(pathology, commodity, technology) The user can do and/or for a mix or match of the three, which is why I need the and/or option in the views.py.

The views.py:

def Bypub(request):     andor1 = request.POST['andor1']     pathology_id = request.POST['pathology_id']     p = get_object_or_404(Pathology, pk=pathology_id)     pub1=Publication.objects.exclude(pathpubcombo__pathology__id= 1).filter(pathpubcombo__pathology=p)     list=[]     andlist=[]     for publication in pub1:         if andor1 == 1:             if publication not in list:                 list.append(publication)         if andor1 == 2:             if publication in list:                 andlist.append(publication)                 #list=andlist     return render_to_response('search/categories.html', {         'andor1' : andor1,         'pub1': pub1,         'pathology': p,         'list' : list,         'andlist' : andlist,     },         context_instance=RequestContext(request)     )

I know that all my code works without error, but the line (if andor1 ==1:) and (if andor1 ==2:) is being ignored. I suspect that the value for andor1 does not appear at the point where I’m using it. I think it doesn’t actually render until after the return render_to_response, because it appears in the next template as a value, otherwise I would see some kind of response at the if andor1 ==1: in the template. Any suggestions?

  1. thank you! The quotes worked. My thinking was stuck on the fact that the value was a numeric and shouldn’t need quotes, so I didn’t try that.
