Multiple filters for the same datasource

Pedro Costa asked on March 13, 2015 19:06

Hi,

I have a pages data source (of product types) that I want to filter with a ProductFilter and a CustomFilter.

Is this http://devnet.kentico.com/forums?forumid=45&threadid=22898 still the advisable method to have multiple filters?

This is my setup:

Filter WebPart

FilterName = productFilter
SourceFilterName being set on OnLoad method to productFilterSource

Product Filter WebPart

Using only sorting and paging size options
FilterName = productFilterSource

PagesDataSource

FilterName: productFilterSource

I'm able to sort but my custom filter doesn't do anything, if I don't set the SourceFilterName my custom filter works but the product filter does not.

Can anyone advise?

Many thanks, P.

I did a similar thing but I created a custom filter control and had both on there, that way it would pass the same info no matter what to the datasource. I couldn't get two to work separately, so I combined them and set the where clause for both filter in the same one.

HI Joshua,

Thanks for the input, however do to the layout requirements, there's no way I can combine both.

Just a visual guide, one filter is next to the breadcrumbs, the other on a sidebar, different zones.

Thanks tho,

Cheers, P.
