Hi. I have a lot of questions. I'm wondering now if filter parameters can be passed through via the url in the same way that {sortlink} works? Or actually, what I'd like to be able to do is set up links that would go to the same module on the same page but include filter parameters like "month=1 and year=2008" etc. Can that be done, even through custom code? Or would I really need to create different instances of the module with various filters applied. I could set the filter control to be visible by the public, but the client would like to have a listing of links without adding multiple pages for each filter combination. It's always the next to impossible...
Thanks for any advice on how to set something like that up.

You might try something like
{Filter}Month = {QryStringVar}month{/QryStringVar} and Year= {QryStringVar}year{/QryStringVar}{/Filter} |

That threw an error and didn't pass anything to the url. I tried {qrystringvar} on the outside of the {filter} tags and that didn't work either. I also tried {urlparams} which didn't throw any errors but it also didn't effect the url either. Will go with plan b and have multiple pages for the various filter combos, mostly its just a list of 30 categories and archives by month and year, so it's not a real big deal. It would be nice to be able to pass filter variables via the url like http://www.domain.com?category=2 or http://www.domain.com?month=jan&year=2006 or http://www.domain.com/pageid/moduleid/year/2008/month/jan/default.aspx or something like that to filter the records in an instance of the module on a page. The third would be trickier with multiple filters.
Thanks for your help,
Rick |
