Filter in url

Hello

I have two questions:

First - In my URL I have this "filter_29[]=2" and I want something like "Country=Portugal". Is possible?

Second - Is possible hide that query string from url?

One more: I'm using a module flexi, call the article on category, with the option (tab) "Current category / Selected...", and that category use a filter by country.

When a filter for portugal, in category, just show the item from portugal, but the module show all, is possible use the same filter in the module?

Thanks

I guess that if your country table use the name as id, you´ll have "filter_29[]=Portugal"

Ignacio had requested that before,
not supported now,
of course it is possible to implement but it has some implications !

e.g. what if someone has created a filter with name: "view" or with name "option" ?
so it can never be "country",
maybe fc_country=portugal ?
is a good tradeoff or maybe:
__country=portugal ?

Possible ? it was like that before and it creates 2 problems:
Problem 1: Link cannot be bookmarked / linked, thus it cannot be indexed by Google either
Problem 2: Full page caching is not possible

so hiding this is not best alternative , that is why most web applications try to have these in URL

-- but we tried to hide some other variables:
(we do not use GET to submit the form)
thus: view=category, option=com_flexicontent, etct are not added to the URL, instead we use POST methid and manually (via JS) add the important variable into the URL

BUT i understand that using
country=portugal
is better than
filter55[]=portugal

Module? which module, you mean a universal content module ?

Yes, universal module content

Hello

FLEXIcontent module has a custom field SCOPE (last scope in scope's list) that you can use to enter a fixed filter value

see popup description of it

enter like
field_id##value1
or
field_id##value1-value2
or
field_id##value1+++value2+++value3
