# Location, Section, Subsection Dependent Dropdowns - Implementation Complete
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
Successfully added location, section, and subsection dependent dropdowns to the complaint form with full internationalization (Arabic/English) support.
|
|
|
|
## Changes Made
|
|
|
|
### 1. Models Updated (`apps/organizations/models.py`)
|
|
- **Location model**: Added `name_ar` and `name_en` fields for bilingual support
|
|
- **MainSection model**: Added `name_ar` and `name_en` fields for bilingual support
|
|
- **SubSection model**: Added `name_ar` and `name_en` fields for bilingual support, changed primary key to `internal_id`
|
|
- Updated `__str__` methods to prefer English name when available
|
|
|
|
### 2. Serializers Updated (`apps/organizations/serializers.py`)
|
|
- **LocationSerializer**: Uses `SerializerMethodField` to return appropriate language name
|
|
- **MainSectionSerializer**: Uses `SerializerMethodField` to return appropriate language name
|
|
- **SubSectionSerializer**: Uses `SerializerMethodField` for name, location_name, and main_section_name with proper i18n handling
|
|
|
|
### 3. Views Updated (`apps/complaints/views.py`)
|
|
- **api_locations**: Orders by `name_en`, returns proper localized names
|
|
- **api_sections**: Orders by `name_en`, returns proper localized names
|
|
- **api_subsections**: Orders by `name_en`, returns proper localized names
|
|
- All endpoints now use `str(obj)` which leverages the model's `__str__` method for proper localization
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Details
|
|
|
|
### Dependent Dropdown Flow
|
|
1. **Location Dropdown** (Level 1)
|
|
- API: `/api/locations/`
|
|
- Returns all locations ordered by English name
|
|
- User selects a location
|
|
|
|
2. **Section Dropdown** (Level 2)
|
|
- API: `/api/sections/<location_id>/`
|
|
- Returns only sections that have subsections for the selected location
|
|
- User selects a section
|
|
|
|
3. **Subsection Dropdown** (Level 3)
|
|
- API: `/api/subsections/<location_id>/<section_id>/`
|
|
- Returns subsections filtered by both location and section
|
|
- User selects a subsection
|
|
|
|
### Internationalization Support
|
|
- All models have both `name_ar` (Arabic) and `name_en` (English) fields
|
|
- Serializers return English name if available, otherwise Arabic name
|
|
- Models' `__str__` methods automatically prefer English name
|
|
- Frontend can use language preference to display appropriate language
|
|
|
|
## API Endpoints
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /api/locations/
|
|
GET /api/sections/<location_id>/
|
|
GET /api/subsections/<location_id>/<section_id>/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All endpoints are public (no authentication required) for the complaint form.
|
|
|
|
## Database Schema
|
|
|
|
### Location
|
|
- `id` (Integer, Primary Key)
|
|
- `name_ar` (CharField, 100) - Arabic name
|
|
- `name_en` (CharField, 100) - English name
|
|
|
|
### MainSection
|
|
- `id` (Integer, Primary Key)
|
|
- `name_ar` (CharField, 100) - Arabic name
|
|
- `name_en` (CharField, 100) - English name
|
|
|
|
### SubSection
|
|
- `internal_id` (Integer, Primary Key) - Value from HTML
|
|
- `name_ar` (CharField, 255) - Arabic name
|
|
- `name_en` (CharField, 255) - English name
|
|
- `location` (ForeignKey to Location)
|
|
- `main_section` (ForeignKey to MainSection)
|
|
|
|
## Testing Required
|
|
|
|
1. **Test Location Dropdown**
|
|
- Visit public complaint form
|
|
- Verify location dropdown loads with all locations
|
|
- Verify names display correctly (English/Arabic)
|
|
|
|
2. **Test Section Dropdown**
|
|
- Select a location
|
|
- Verify section dropdown populates with sections for that location
|
|
- Verify only sections with subsections are shown
|
|
|
|
3. **Test Subsection Dropdown**
|
|
- Select a section
|
|
- Verify subsection dropdown populates with subsections for that location/section
|
|
|
|
4. **Test Form Submission**
|
|
- Fill out complaint form with location/section/subsection
|
|
- Submit form
|
|
- Verify data is saved correctly
|
|
|
|
## Data Population
|
|
|
|
Use the management command to populate location data:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python manage.py populate_location_data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command creates the hierarchical structure:
|
|
- Locations (48, 49)
|
|
- Main Sections (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
|
|
- SubSections with proper relationships
|
|
|
|
## Frontend Integration
|
|
|
|
The complaint form template (`templates/complaints/public_complaint_form.html`) already includes:
|
|
- Location dropdown with AJAX loading
|
|
- Section dropdown (loads when location changes)
|
|
- Subsection dropdown (loads when section changes)
|
|
- Proper error handling and loading states
|
|
|
|
## Benefits
|
|
|
|
1. **Better UX**: Cascading dropdowns reduce options at each step
|
|
2. **Data Quality**: Ensures valid location/section/subsection combinations
|
|
3. **Internationalization**: Full Arabic/English support
|
|
4. **Maintainability**: Clear hierarchical structure in database
|
|
5. **Scalability**: Easy to add new locations/sections/subsections
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
1. Populate the database with actual location data using the management command
|
|
2. Test the complete flow from form submission to data storage
|
|
3. Verify that complaints display location information correctly in admin
|
|
4. Consider adding location filtering to complaint list views
|

|
|
- `apps/organizations/models.py` - Model field updates for i18n
|
|
- `apps/organizations/serializers.py` - Serializer method fields for localization
|
|
- `apps/complaints/views.py` - API endpoint updates for proper field usage
|
|
|
|
## Files Referenced (No Changes Needed)
|
|
|
|
- `templates/complaints/public_complaint_form.html` - Already has dropdown implementation
|
|
- `apps/complaints/urls.py` - Already has URL patterns for API endpoints
|
|
- `apps/organizations/admin.py` - Already has admin registration
|
|
|
|
## Status: ✅ COMPLETE
|
|
|
|
All code changes are complete and ready for testing. The dependent dropdowns are fully implemented with internationalization support. |
