UniGrid, Filter and Paging Custom Webpart

Brenden Kehren asked on March 6, 2014 21:37

I have a custom webpart that uses a unigrid and is using the "filter" alternate form to filter data. I also have paging enabled. All works well for the most part EXCEPT if I submit the filter and then navigate to the next page. When I navigate to the next page, the filter is lost. How do I re-apply that filter?

Hi Brenden,

Could you please go to Site Manager -> Settings -> System -> User Interface and double check that Remember listing, filter and state option is enabled?

Best Regards, Roman Konicek

Hi Roman,

can you tell me how to remove (parts) of the current state of a UniGrid? I have a UniGrid on a page that is populated in Page_Load() with .OrderBy("NodeLevel, NodeOrder,NodeName") to ensure backend sorting by default. If users click on a column header, the sorting changes to that column. But I'd like to give users the ability to switch back to "system" sorting somehow without closing the browser.

Best regards, Stefan

A simple solution would be to give them a link to click on that would redirect them back to the page they are currently on. You could use a macro in an editable text box <a href="{% CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}">Click here to reset</a>

Hi Stefan,

You have several options depending on what you need:

  • The easiest way to just reset the ordering state (and no other states) programmatically would be probably to just call this:

grid.SortDirect = grid.OrderBy;

  • The grid also has a Reset() method that can be used to reset the whole state including filter, you can call this method programmatically, too

  • If you want to leverage the default Reset button in a grid filter, you can set the property FilterLimit of the grid, so that the filter displays immediately and the reset button is available. This button calls the Reset method I mentioned above

grid.FilterLimit = 1;

Let us know if you need some more details
