Problem Statement:
feature_1 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
feature_2 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
feature_3 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
The three lines of code in the filter form are causing error. Error detail: when these fields are included in filter form, then only these fields of filter provide the correct search results. The other fields do not provide the correct search results [this message appears on the screen: "
No matching Result found"]. When these fields are removed from the filter form, the other fields started working well by providing the correct results.
Secondly, when this code [
widget=forms.CheckboxInput] is removed from these three lines of code, the whole filter form [all fields, other plus these three fields] works well, providing the correct results.
Question:
I want check box for these boolean fields. How can I display check-box for these boolean fields?
What I have tried:
I removed this code [
widget=forms.CheckboxInput] and the filter form works well.
feature_1 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
feature_2 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
feature_3 = django_filters.BooleanFilter(widget=forms.CheckboxInput)
