New Commercial Services Section
We have now opened a commercial services section here on the forum for registered users. If you have a Fabrik project that you wish to have someone work on for you, post it under Help Wanted. If you are an application developer and wish to earn some money helping others, post your details under Fabrik Application Developers.
Both of these are unmoderated. It will be up to both parties to work out the details and come to an agreement.

Hi lousyfool,
First Sorry for my late reply and second thanks for your help!
I used your suggestion and I confirm that it works !! but I have not considered (my mistake !!) that by inserting this filter I can not see anymore the previous dates set by the filter on the frontend (date picker) because the prefilter prevails
Please do you have another suggestion to help me with this further problem?
thanks a lot.

Well, as the name says, pre-filters are at work before a list is getting displayed. Thought that's what you wanted.
If you want to filter "temporarily", you can set up and utilise the list filters (note, no "pre"): http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/list-filters/
You'll need to also configure the elements you want to filter by, I guess in your case at least the date element in question: http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/elements/#filters
As it says in the Wiki, for the date element you best want to choose "range" as filter type. Then, when using the filter, you can specify "from" and "to" dates.

Hi lousyfool, thanks again for your help.
yes, you are right, you thought correctly but I explained wrong!! Certainly I could understand the meaning of "pre filters" by myself and understand that was not what I needed!!
Now, as you suggested, I set the date as a search filter, I chose "range" as a filter type and now I can choose the dates by searching "from" date "to" date selecting by two date picker
This is really OK, but now can I set the filter that when I load the list the date picker "from" is set automatically on today's date and the date picker "a" is set to "today + 7 days"?
I would like this to avoid to make the choose every time I open or refresh the list and to avoid to load a great number of record.
Thanks for your attention

I don't understand...
First you ask for a pre-filter. But then you say it's not what you want.
So, you get a list filter. But now you say it's not what you want, either.
Hmmm, what do you want? You can't have your cake and eat it, too...
Reads like you want the list filtered for records in between "now" and "now +7 days", so it works like a pre-filter on pageload, but still have the option of resetting or changing this in the same list anytime you want?
If it weren't a date/time range incl "now", I'd say use URL filtering (where you query fields and values in the URL). Don't think that'll work in this case, though.
You may be able to achieve it with some Javascript, like pre-populating the filter fields, etc etc.
However, the simplest I can think of:
Use a pre-filter, configured to display those "in between now and +7 days" records. Eventually make that a copy of the main list, eventually (if you use both main and filtered lists often) make it two menu items. Or make the first list (= used most often) the main menu item, and the second list a "hidden" menu item but put a link to it into the intro of the first list.
