How to open list item with field content?

[MarcelJ28]

Hi,

I have a field called number in my list. I want to adress the item in the lits with only that number so not a combination with the item-id so not:

/details/1/4-192

But

/details/1/192

Because that number is known to the end users, the item-id is not.

You might be able to do it by creating a menu item for the form, and setting the "Use Key" to 'number'.

Then in your list settings, set the custom details link to ...

index.php?option=com_fabrik&view=details&formid=X&rowid={yourtable___number}&Itemid=X

Set the formid to your form's numeric ID, and Itemid to the menu item ID you created.

Honesty, I' not sure if this'll work, but give it a go. Basically, the only way to do what you want is to use that "usekey" method, which tells Fabrik to use something other than the PK of your list as the "rowid". You can set that on a form menu, or you can add it on the quest string, like &usekey=number
