Re: Search Field on All Pages

What about creating a template_tag for the form? Is that a good way to add it to several templates?

What I do is to setup a search that works at /search/q=search_term, and then create a form on each page that submits to /search.

<form action="/search/" method="get"><input type="text" name="q"/> <input type="submit" value="Search"></form>

This form is in my top level site template.  The /search/ url is part of a search application.

There's an example of this working at http://www.brassbandresults.co.uk/

Hope that helps,

Tim.

Hi,

I want a search field on all my pages and was wondering the best way
to do this. I could create a function and import it to every view but
this doesn't seem to follow the django DRY principles.

Personally, I like all of my forms to be classes. If you want that, you should create a context processor.
