Filters for Custom table Data grid
Hi
We are having a requirement to display training schedule from the data base. We created the custom table according to our requirement. And we able to display the data with "Custom table Data grid" webpart. Now we would like to add filters to let the users to choose their city etc.. What would be the best way to build such a filters. Is it possible with portal engine itself or we should develop our own web part using .net.


We want display the schedule according to selected city. And the list of city names should be displayed as drop down.

Thanks & Regards
Haja

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. You will need to create a custom filter as it is demonstrated in this blog: Custom filter development with Kentico CMS.

Thanks Michal

But i need further clarification.

Now i am using Custom table datagrid web part to display my data from the database. To filter out the values from it, i would like to add a filter.

What i would like know from you is, can i build such a filter from inside the portal engine itself without developing a new web from .net.

Hi,

You need to develop a custom filter at first as mentioned in the blog and once you have done so, you can use it in the portal engine.
