Django jQuery Tags Input is a Django field and widget wrapper that adds an easy to use interface for `ManyToManyField` and `ForeignKey` fields in the forms of autocompleting tags with optionally live creation of new linked items
Project description
Overview
Django Tags Input is a module that gives you a modified version of the Xoxco jQuery Tags Input library within Django.
The result is a very pretty interface with tags and autocomplete which can optionally automatically create new items when they are missing.
One of the most useful features of Django Tags Input is that it stores the elements in the order which you input.
So if you insert B, A, C into the database, it will return it sorted the way you entered it: B, A, C.

To test the project simply clone the repository, install and run the example:
mkvirtualenv django-tags-input
git clone https://github.com/WoLpH/django-tags-input.git
pip install -e django-tags-input
cd django-tags-input/example
python manage.py runserverNow you can go to http://localhost:8000/admin/ and login with username and password admin and admin respectively.
After this you can try adding some extra Foo objects through the Spam admin here: http://localhost:8000/admin/autocompletionexample/spam/2/
Note that some parts of the example are deliberately broken to test the behaviour in broken environments.
