Re: drop-in replacement for admin module foreign key relation UI

I think https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-autocomplete-light is good, quick and stable.  It has "heritage" (been around and battle-tested) and provides the features that are key.  (And supports Django 1.7, Python3).

Hi all,

I have tons of objects referenced by ForeignKey in Django Admin module UI, and I would like to replace it with something more optimal, e.g. auto-fill input box or something.

My model looks something like this:

class SoapCall(models.Model):

    customer = models.ForeignKey(Customer, null=True, blank=True)

    created = models.DateTimeField(default=now)

    wsdl = models.CharField(max_length=255)

    func = models.CharField(max_length=63)

    request = models.TextField()

    response = models.TextField()

Now, this works great, but if I have 100000 Customer objects it's not very nice to generate one huge <select><option>... element for every page load.

There seems to be many possible plugins/implementations for this, but I was just wondering if anyone would have up-to-date recommendations in this mailing list. I'm on Python 3.4.2 and Django 1.7.4.

Thanks beforehand. :) 

Br,

Jani

P.S. <3 Django
