Custom Tables filter on page

Hi everyone,
I've a simple question: is there any chance to obtain a filter in the "Custom Table Properties" page under CMSDesk-->Tools-->Custom Tables.
This is the scenario: I designed a custom table with 2 fields "Section" and "Code". The idea is to filter the gridview by viewing, for example, only the codes linked to a particular section.

Is this possible or not? I also tried to order the item by clicking on "Section" column header, but this isn't what I need because if I open the edit page and then, after saving, come back to the list, the order clause doesn't exist anymore.

I hope it's everything clear.

Regards.

RE:Custom Tables filter on page

Hello,

If you are using Kentico CMS 5.x, you will need to modify the following page:

~/CMSModules/CustomTables/Tools/CustomTable_Data_List.aspx

and ensure the filtering using the custom code.

FYI: Kentico CMS 6.0 provides this option by default: Creating filter forms.

In terms of your second question, this is standard behavior, as you open a completely different page by opening the edit page and the order condition is not saved.

Best regards,
Michal Legen

RE:Custom Tables filter on page

Hi Mauro,

Just short update regarding the filtering functionality, the above mentioned page uses the following control ~/CMSModules/CustomTables/Controls/CustomTableDataList.ascx which is based on the standard UniGrid control. The documentation for this control is available here: UniGrid overview.

Anyway, the ordering works in the same way also in Kentico CMS 6.0.

Best Regards,
ML
