Paginating the results of a Django forms POST request

Question

I\'m using Django Forms to do a filtered/faceted search via POST, and I would like to Django\'s paginator class to organize the results. How do I preserve the original requ

Answer 1

Have the search form and the results display on one single django template. Initially, use css to hide the results display area. On POSTing the form, you could check to see if the search returned any results and hide the search form with css if results exist. If results do not exist, use css to hide the results display area like before. In your pagination links, use javascript to submit the form, this could be as simple as document.forms[0].submit(); return false;

You will need to handle how to pass the page number to django's paging engine.
