RE:Search in Custom table

Hi,

To be able to search in custom tables you need to create a new index of type "custom tables", please see the following link for more information http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?smart_search_defining_ct_index_content.htm.

Is that what you want to achieve? If not could you please provide me detailed information about your scenario.

Best Regards,

RE:Search in Custom table

Go to the Alternative Forms for that custom table and add a new form called "filter" with "filter" as the code name and save it. Navigate back to the Data page for that custom table and if you have more than 25 records, your newly created filter form will show.

Most likely you will have to change some of the fields that are showing but you can also do this in your alternative form's fields.

Technically you can't have to objects named with the same name, which is why only one shows.

If you want to display this on a different page outside of the CMSDesk or Site Manager, then create a custom query from the main table and use joins or unions in it to get your data. Then place a custom query repeater on your page and display your data. You may need to create a custom webpart to get the filter and repeater to play nice together.

Thank you for your reply!
But i just want to ask you if i create two (or more) Alternative Forms for a custom table, what will i do with second form? Because Customs table only get first form to filter.
This is my question for discovery
Thank you very much!

RE:Search in Custom table

Hi,

As FroggEye mentioned you cannot have two alternative forms with the same name, and only alternative form with one of the reserved code names will be automatically used when performing the corresponding actions in the administration interface, in this case filter codename.

You can use other alternative forms of your custom table for example to replace a custom table's default form for adding or editing custom table items in the system's administration interface.

I would recommend you to check the following chapter in our Developer´s guide - http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/7_0/devguide/index.html?creating_filter_forms.htm
