Hey,
​
Im working with building a website that contains information about different medica projects. The medical projects are added to a database using a form created by chronforms. Thereafter all projects are displayed in the website by a table created by chronoconnectivity. see the pictures below:

​
​

​
I want to create a filter function to all the headers. So i want to make it possible to view for example only CT projects or only Paused projects.
​
I should also mention that i have only been working with joomla, CF6 and CC6 for approximately one week. So a detailed explanation is appreciated.

Thanks for your answer.
I've added a 'conditionä in my read data action. looks like this:

​
​
I've also created a form area. but i dont understand how i should fill the fields.

Now create a text field and put it inside the Form Area's "content" section using {view:name_of_your_text_field}
​
And don't literally write "columnname" in the read data where condition, write the name of the column you're going to use that text field to filter on

I did create the text field and put it in the Form Area's content. The result is i did get a field on the webpage ( see image below) but when i type CT for example to filter only CT projects i didn't get any response.

Did you submit the form, or just type in it?

I typed and pressed Enter

And it's submitting? What does your debug say?

I would say it is submitting cause i get a loading logo after i press enter. but the tabell won't update.
​
I don't really know about debug. Sorry i'm very new to this.
​
In 'Functions' 'Condition' the value should it be data.modalitet ? or should data be replaced by my database name?

I did write:
{function:read_projects}
{view:form3}{debug:}
{view:table1}
In the events and i got:

​
Does it tell you anything?

I figured it out. i should have data.modalitet to data.text4
because the textfield i've created called text4
​
Thanks for help!:)

My next challenge would be to add an edit button to my project list(see picture below):

​
so the idea is: The user should be able to search for a project (or projects) and can simply edit the project (for example change the status) by clicking on the edit button.
​
can you help me with that:)

There are demo connections that can help you with that.

Hi again,
​
Thanks for your answer. I've been looking at the demo connections. There is something i dont understand.

In the demo connection there is an edit button, when i press edit. The title of the article that i have chose to edit is already written in the text field. what is the function that does that? i have tried to build my connection in the same way but the when i press edit i get en empty form ( see pictures below).
​

​
This is build with with demos 'basic articles list'. When i click on edit i get the following widnow where article title is automaticly filled.

​
​
Also, can i make so when i click edit i get my already designed chronoform with the informations of the specifik project so i can edit multiple lines?

do you still need help with this ?

No I've figured it out.
Thank you!

Great, we are making ready the new ChronoForms v7 which has an easier to use data listing features, so in the future you better use it instead of CC6
​
Best regards

Nice:)

This worked very well for me, but how can I use a dropdown instead of the text field?

if your dropdown has the same field name then it should work the same!
