I am working with the newest version of FLEXIcontent and with Joomla 3.3.6.
I want to set up a list (maybe in a table) on a webpage, with content which I can filter using the 'Content Lists Filter Module for FLEXIcontent'.
I already installed this module on my webpage, but now I need to set up a list which can be filtered. I don't know how to do this, and I cannot find any documentation on it. How is this possible to do? Can you please help me?

Hello

the module is needed only if you want to place filters in a module position, otherwise the filters can be displayed via the component,


1. in fields manager make some fields "Filterable"
2. in component parameters ("configuration" button) , go to content lists TAB and make sure that "Use filters" is enabled

NOTE: individual categories may disable the "Use filters" parameter
NOTE: if select no specific filters in component parameters, this will show --all-- fields that are marked as "filterable"

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.
I get what you say, I have already some filterable fields.
However, I don't get how to address the fields to specific parts of the list/table in the article..
So the filter is already on my webpage with different filter fields, but there is nothing in the filter list on which I can filter..

Hello

ok i see that you are using filter module and not the filters in the component area,

please update to v2.2.1rc, and clean frontend cache once

then if you still have issue with empty filters, then it is probably related to filter module configuration, in such a case post a picture of the module configuration

I did it, but nothing changes..
I am not able to upload an attachment, so I uploaded a pdf file with pictures of the module configuration on my website:

Hello

i see the configuration it is single category or current category, but you have given a website link that is not category view, try setting the module to appear when FLEXIcontent category view is active

But how does the filter know which things should be registered? I think you have to give the text some kind of tags and then the filters can filter the text which on the tags it have.
But I don't know how to give this kind of tags to the text and from there on how to give tags to specific items in the text, so that (in my case) only the links appear in which is the name 'H. Lassche' when selecting in the field 'Predikant' the name 'H. Lassche' (when it appears in the filter menu)?

PS. The page is at this moment one single article..

Hello

in order for the filters to show values, module needs to decide which categories (items of the categories) to use for get field values,


NOTE:
default configuration of filter is to use FACETED filtering (show item counting and hide options that are not available)

so do items of the target category have values in these fields ?

That was indeed part of the problem.
But now it need to filter the table (of which I made a short first part. I saw on another website that they use flexitable, but I don't know what that is and I can't find anything on the internet about it.
Also I can only give a value to an article as a whole, but not to one part of the table only.
And I would like also to see the results only as a changing table.

The filter should only filter the links on the webpage on which the module is located..
