Advanced search in dashlet using Document Library page

frontman — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 17:14:28 GMT

Hi everyone… What I'm trying to accomplish is getting an advanced search in a dashlet. Looking in the web, I found this: http://loftux.se/en/2010/02/25/advanced-search-in-alfresco-share/.Like you see, the solution is really simple: create a form with the fields you need, concat the values from those

Hi,

If you log the filterData, do you get any passed parameters?
In row 53 the filterData is cast into a string variable

var filterData = String(args.filterData)‍

Maybe better to use this variable (I dont know why I didn't).

if(filterData.length > 0)‍

Also output to the log file what the filterData variable contains.

I already found the solution.

Instead of '&', it must be "#" to identify the url parameters. (e.g. documentlibrary#filter=myQuery#filterData=file_myFile|doctype_myType)

Thanks for reply, loftux.

frontman,
I now need your help. I'm trying to get this to work on 3.2r Enterprise, and just cannot get filterData to be picked up. Have tried your suggestion for the url, but didn't help.
What version are you running? Can you post a complete working url? Any other changes you had to do?

Loftux, for some reason that solution worked fine at that time (I was working with a 3.2r development enviroment), but I tried in a new production enviroment with 3.2r and it's not working. Honestly I don't know what to do.

I have since my post figured it out. Vertical bar is now filterData delimiter, i.e
documentlibrary#filter=myQuery|mydatatobeusedinsearch
Since in my original solution I had | as a delimiter in the query it may have partially worked for you. If you replace that with something else so you get something like
documentlibrary#filter=myQuery|file:myFile_doctype:myType
I think it should work with this.

You can if you enable debugging in share-config-custom.xml, and then in the Share webclient hit ctrl+ctrl+shift+shift see debug output and that it picks up your filterData
