Filter like Joomla?

[mattsh]

Hi!

I would like to have a filter on my list similar to the function of Joomla. In Joomla admin you see "all" articles except the trashed ones. But you can select trashed status and see them.

How to achieve this?

If I use Fabrik lists with prefilter I'm not able to do this, I just see data that's prefiltered.

Hi,

One option is to use url querystring/filtering. You can use e.g "external url" istead of "Fabrik list" menu item and add something like:
index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=list&listid=xx& . . . &mytable_myelement_raw=something

This will apply the filtering string "something" to your list element called "myelement". And the user can remove the filter if needed.

You can also use placeholders like {rowid} instead of "something" if you for example refer to the list from another lists link/calc element.

Meanwhile the Fabrik list menu has an option "Extra Query String" (at the bottom of the Fabrik list options tab) so you don't need the "external URL" anymore.
