Filtered list

Hi, I saw that FLEXIcontent can create custom lists using filter.
flexicontent.org/documentation/faq.html
But unfortunatly it doesn't work.
How can I do this?

What do you mean?
You want to filter the items displayed category views according to FIELD filters ?

You can select which filters to display in each category configuration.

more information is needed ???

No, I did it, thank you.
Just one suggestion: I think it could be usefull to allow users to rewrite the parameters in the menu items. So I can show the same category twich using or not the filters and the other parameters, just a detail

Yes we can do this but we would need a new type of menu item, because changing existing "FLEXIcontent Category" menu item, would cause problems with linking to the category because the menu item would sometimes be selected automatically and cause different appearance that the user would expect.

So it would require a new Type of menu item that will never be automatically selected as current menu item.

Also the universal module logic is intended to be converted into a custom view too, Thus creating a view with complex selection of items (of course this is not trivial since there is no "current item in such a view").

These will not be done in the currently pending version for sure, but possible in next one.

hey

about the module, i try use them but i can, he return to index, i use friendly url, and in the code i see:

i change to:
"premios" is " www.website.com/premios ", and change the $form_method to "GET".

if i use default form_target, he return that:
Using my version, is wrong i know, he works fine, but is specifically for a menu.
Probably i need do something more in config, in module, category, in field, i dont know, i try a lot of things but the error is the same every time.

Hello currently i am fixing / testing these stuff (preparation and submission of filter form of filter module)

i have a suggestion, include a menu id or category, to force when we select a filter out of flexi categories? You understand right?

EDIT:
i try implement my ideas, one of them is the force menu id.
I put some code working with sef, but no repecting (for now) validation in your code.

In Xml:
In default.php (tmpl):

Is no complete, i share with you this "idea" to help. If you wish, use the code, change him, whatever

EDIT2:

The new version of filter, in module filter config, the option Single or Default Category have a bug. You choose the category but when you save, category disappear, and the field on website, goes every time to the first category, probably because he never take the id of default category (?).

One more, when you are in category, you filter by something, and click the menu to that category, the link clean the filter_X=Y, but the last result of last filtering stay

1. About single or current Category, it needs some fixing

2. plus it needs parameters for adding some CUSTOM text inside the module, you see you need to show some message to the user about the form target category etc

3. Note that cleaning up parameters of the form was not trivial, in the end i think we made best choise,

4. about force menu item selection, just i don't see what you are trying to do with this code,
you want to activate a specific menu item (set in parameters), right?

about number one, in xml i change to select, and works.

about the number four, yes like fc universal module, you have that option. But if you use a default category the effect is the same.
