Filters (Lists)

[mariluzrm]

I mean the slim list will be out of date since it has a join to a mysql view (view not updatable), isn't it?

 

[troester]

No.
A MySQL view is at any time showing the actual data of the underlying DB table(s).

Thank you

select
`person_repeat_f`.`parent_id` AS `parent_id`,
group_concat(`person_repeat_f`.`notes` separator '<br>') AS `notes`
from `person_repeat_f` group by `person_repeat_f`.`parent_id`

Then in your "slim" list (without the joins to the repeat groups) add a join (id to parent_id, repeat=no) to this view.
Now you can display and filter the "notes" in the slim list.

Hello.
So if I use views, "advanced search" can't have dropdowns with select values, right?
Thanks.

Another thing, I have seen in the wiki that it is possible also search by doing a form search and using the seach plugin as well. What are the differences between these and the advanced search of the lists? Are there other ways to search or filter?

Search form doesn't help you in your particular case. It's just another way of doing the search and maybe gives some extra options of designing the form to better meet your needs. And the search plugin is to integrate the Fabrik data with Joomla's search function, so the Fabrik data can be searched from Joomla global search.

And this would not be worth what I want? Does not it work to filter lists in front-end?

Thanks

It just includes the Fabrik list data in Joomla global search results among articles, news feeds and other data.

Ok then it doesn't work for me.
The joins to mysql views would help me.
I would need Troester to answer me about the dropdowns in the search fields.

I have tried putting dropdowns for search field values, but can't get it to work

Thanks

Removed - not applicable to users problem.

Read the topic. It is a join to a mysql view with GROUP_CONCAT fields

There is a single record for each id of the parent table and all repeating values concatenated in the same field.

The dropdown shows all the concatenated values for each id. I want the individual values to be shown to filter

Id .............. Values_concat
1............................ 0
............................... 1
................................3

2...............................0
..................................2

Dropdows shows in this example:
013 (to id 1)
02 (to id 2)

I want shows values:

0 -> A
1 -> B
2 -> C
3 ->'D

You are right, I should reduce my multitasking and improve the habit of reading long threads or be quiet

Don't worry, you help me a lot
