根据用户动态过滤Haystack SearchQuerySet

Question

I need to filter Haystack's SearchQuerySet based on the current user. I know I can get the current user via request.user in other views, so I imagine I need to override Haystack's default SearchView, but I'm not sure how. Below is a sample of my urls.py and views.py.

urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('mysite.search.views',
    url(r'^mymodel/$', search_view_factory(
        view_class=MySearchView,
        template='mymodel_search.html',
        form_class=MyModelSearchForm,
        searchqueryset = SearchQuerySet().models(MyModel),
    ), name='mymodel_search'),
    ...

views.py:

class MySearchView(SearchView):
    def build_form(self, form_kwargs=None):
        prop = UserProfile.objects.get(user = self.request.user).property
        self.searchqueryset = self.searchqueryset.filter(property = prop)

        return super(MySearchView, self).build_form(form_kwargs)

This doesn't seem to be working, though. Results are limited to MyModel (as filtered in urls.py), but the filtering in MySearchView doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a different way or place I should be doing this?

Answer 1

It was my own mistake. In my custom MyModelSearchForm's search() method, I was resetting the search query set to SearchQuerySet().models(MyModel) , so it replaced all previous filtering. The method I was attempting with MySearchView works.
