NeXTensio Forum :: NeXTensio List 3 Default Filter

I am using NeXTensio List 3, ASP, VB Scripts, WXP. Is it possible to set a default for the filter in a NeXTensio List 3? My list includes both active and expired records. I would like both to be available to the user but when the page loads I would like them to see only active records.

Thanks!

Hi Ben,

If you want the NeXTensio list to apply a specific filter automatically when the page loads, follow the next steps:

1. Open the page containing the list in Dreamweaver.
2. Switch to code view (from View > Code).
3. Locate the filter definition. It is marked by a comment like this:
   //Filter
   
4. The first line in the code block defines the general filter, then there are a series of calls to the addColumn method. This method defines the filter element for each list column.
5. To filter the list by default by a specific column, locate it and add as an extra argument to the method call the value to filter by. For example, for a status_inf column which you want to be 0 by default, the line could look like this:
   $tfi_listinformation_inf1->addColumn("info_inf.status_inf", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "status_inf", "=","0");
   
6. After defining the filter, save the page and upload it to the remote server.

Hope this helps,
Cristian

Thanks, Christian. That sounds easy. I'll give it a try.

Hey Cristian, this fifth parameter to the .addColum doesn't work. Can you please update this per the most recent version of NeXTensio and ASP/VBScript?
