Hi BNRBranding,

I'm not sure what the field list does but I'm pretty sure that Max got it wrong there.

I've just checked through the ChronoConnectivity main files and I can't see any reference to frontfilters in the code :-(

Are there news for "frontend filtering fields" in the last version ?

Hi vales,

The values are stored in the params but I can't find anywhere else in the ChronoConnectivity code that they are used.

Hi,

I believe that Frontend Filtering is a "MUST" for CC (or any such Database Application). Actually, I need it for my work as Database is huge and consists of 208 Pages, and I want that Users could Filter the Data.

OK, it seems that "Frontend Filtering" is still not present. Are there plans to add this in future?

Hi zaidi,

I don't know what front-end filtering was supposed to do but if you want a way to allow users to filter the table then you can do that by adding a few form fields in the head box and using the WHERE box to build a query from them.

I posted an example of a complex where clause here somewhere. The only thing that you can't do at presnet is to use JOINs in your SQL statement.

Thanks Greyhead for the reply.

I have only one Database, and it has following fields.


id, Section, Text, Translation1, Translation2


* First there should be a Drop Down Menu for "Section" Selection.

* Then there should be 3 "Check Boxes" for (1)Text (2)Translation1 (3)Translation2 , so that Users could chose themselves if they want to view only the Text, or "Text+Translation1" or .....

***************

It's already a charity work for me for poor children of my Country who have different Regional Languages.

If I get this working, then for sure I would buy the Subscription of CC to Validate it.

Thanks and Regards.
