Custom document filters

Hi all.One of the things we found to be lacking in Share is that document filters on the top left of the screen. There's only two filters in the Repo (Favourites, I'm Editing) while you get a lot more with a Site. What we were wanting to do is do a custom filter for documents you've Recently Added.

Hi Mike.

Thanks again for your pointers. That was a relatively easy change! I'm surprised that something like custom filters haven't been portioned out to the share-config-custom.xml to be honest since it's something that could be pretty powerful.

Managed to get this working now.

Cheers,
Ben.

There are only so many hours in a day

Thanks,
