Hi guys,

I am trying to use the Filter functionality when calling RenderItem directly in the template.

I know there are 2 approaches to this filter: SQL (or code) and the implemented filter from front end.

Since I bneed to use "Contains" I suppose I need to use the latter.

However, I could not find any documentation on how to build the filter string correctly.

What I need to buils is "Field1 is Value1 and Field2 contains Value2".

I tried this syntax exactly and it does not seem to work.

I am using 9.2.8.

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian

Do you mean RenderItemList? That is found here: http://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/items/item-publisher#3297

Hi Nicolai,

Yes, that's the one. Sorry for being vague.
As you can see, in the page you mentioned, there is not clarification on how to write a filter to be used directly in the template.

There is a parameter that is not documented: ListFilter.

While Filtering by querystring is pretty useful, it does not account for the ListFilter syntax.

That's what I am missing.

I hope it makes sense.

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian

Something like this?

@{
var areaId = GetInteger("…");
if (areaId > 0) {
  @RenderItemList(new {
    ItemType = "Contact",
    ListSourceType = "SelfArea",
    ItemFieldsList = "*",
    ListTemplate = "ItemPublisher/List/List.cshtml",
    ListPageSize = 10,
    ListOrderBy = "Name",
    Filter = "Areas contains \""+areaId+"\""
  });
}
}
