Submitted by viksit on Wed, 08/12/2009 - 22:14
Usually, if you were to use something like,
class testform(forms.Form):
  n = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Models.objects.filter(id=32773), empty_label="All")

class vModelChoiceField(forms.ModelChoiceField):
  def label_from_instance(self, obj):
    return "%s" % obj.name

class testform(forms.Form):

So if you find that everything works perfectly well, but your search results are 0 in number - this is what you should do! You have to add 'djangosphinx' into INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py, in the main django directory. Link,
