We have created a filter form containing fields to submit data to a search event. In the table generated, it has several sorter widgets as column headers.
​
Our issue is that after submitting data through the filter form, clicking on any of the sorting link refreshes the table without filtering. Is it possible that when clicking on the sorting link, the current filters are passed on as well?
​
Edit: Also, multiple sorters do not work?

Did you try this on v7 beta2 ?

Is there vt beta version on CCv too? where to find the download?

Hi Elita,
​
No, for now you will be able to use CF7 to build listings as well, so no need for CC
​
Here is a topic with a step by step how to build a table is provided:

​
But be ready to do few changes after the update because this is still a beta!
​
Best regards

wow. nice changes! Thanks Max!

Sorry, is CFv7 going to replace CC?
​
We are using CC extensively on our website, does it mean we'll have to rebuild all our connection on CFv7 when it's released?

Where do we download CFv7?

No, you will not "have to", but the same function will be doable in CF7
​
here is the download link:

Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to CF7.
​
We really like CC though for displaying data, is there plans to still update it to v7 as well or is Chronoforms the only thing going forward from now (just so we can start switching over to CF7 if that's the case).

In order to be able to answer this, I would like to know what do you like in CC6 exactly ?

Basically the ability to retrieve data from databases and display them in several different views.
​
The way CC organises events, views, and functions is easier to understand and program. To illustrate some of the tables we made, a screenshot from one of the connections on our website below:

Basically some buttons have a popup that allow the teacher to change the value, some buttons are toggles, some are links. The way CC works is perfect in this regard, as each row have their own data pulled from the database, and can be saved back into the database via AJAX individually. The "views" and "functions" can be grouped together and re-used multiple times across different events. We have somewhere like 30 events, 100 views, and 50 functions in this connection alone - a nightmare to build in CF I'd think! Also the ability to do custom CSS, HTML, and PHP functions are amazingly simple.
​
It's quite hard to get my point across but I guess CF seems more suitable for creating a single form and submitting data due to its simplicity. Meanwhile CC is great for doing multiple ways to submit data while displaying data in different formats at the same time.
