copied!<p>I think your goal is trying to filter queryset based on form submission, if so, by using GET : </p> <pre><code>class ProfileSearchView(ListView) template_name = '/your/template.html' model = Person def get_queryset(self): try: name = self.kwargs['name'] except: name = '' if (name != ''): object_list = self.model.objects.filter(name__icontains = name) else: object_list = self.model.objects.all() return object_list </code></pre> <p>Then all you need to do is write a <code>get</code> method to render template and context.</p> <p>Maybe not the best approach. By using the code above, you no need define a django form.</p> <p>Here's how it works : Class based views separates its way to render template, to process form and so on. Like, <code>get</code> handles GET response, <code>post</code> handles POST response, <code>get_queryset</code> and <code>get_object</code> is self explanatory, and so on. The easy way to know what's method available, fire up a shell and type :</p> <p><code>from django.views.generic import ListView</code> if you want to know about <code>ListView</code></p> <p>and then type <code>dir(ListView)</code>. There you can see all the method defined and go visit the source code to understand it. The <code>get_queryset</code> method used to get a queryset. Why not just define it like this, it works too : </p> <pre><code>class FooView(ListView): template_name = 'foo.html' queryset = Photo.objects.all() # or anything </code></pre> <p>We can do it like above, but we can't do dynamic filtering by using that approach. By using <code>get_queryset</code> we can do dynamic filtering, using any data/value/information we hav, it means we also can use <code>name</code> parameter that is sent by <code>GET</code>, and its available on <code>kwargs</code>, or in this case, on <code>self.kwargs["some_key"]</code> where <code>some_key</code> is any parameter you specified</p>
