Data filter for my custom datalist

june_cataquez1 — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 05:51:30 GMT

Hello Alfrescians,I'm using Alfresco quite some time now, and I've been searching for a way to put a filter option to my custom datalist, I want that each field in my datalist has a filter function so that searching data will be easier. I know that this is possible because I have read some plug-ins

The "old addon" you are referring to might be the fme datalist extension. Another member of the community, Andreas Steffen, has taken that addon and adapted it to Alfresco 5.0. The differences between 5.0 and 5.1 may be small enough that this also works in 5.1, otherwise you might report issues with Andreas and maybe work together on making the necessary adaptions. The addon is maintained in a GitHub repository.

Hello.

Complementing Axel Faust answer, there is another addon with the filter functionality.

You can get it here GitHub - ITDSystems/alvex-datagrid: Generic purpose datagrid enhancements

Hi Douglas,

I tried it and it works, but it only works for Alfresco predefined datalists, is there a way that my custom datalist be part of this add-on?

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

June

Hello Douglas,

I manage to find a way to implement Alvex datalist filter for custom made datalist in Alfresco. I have also encountered a new problem, all the searching is a failure, It prompts "091231400 Wrapped Exception (with status template): 0912129747 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/alvex/datalists/datalist-search.post.json.js': 0912129746 Failed to execute search: +PARENT:"workspace://SpacesStore/c2594c5a-5702-426a-ad67-c4859f60cab1" +@dl\:issueDueDate:[2016\-10\-12T00:00:00 TO 2016\-10\-12T23:59:59] ", have you encountered this kind of error?

Best Regards,

June

Hey June.

No, I haven't found that problem.

I have just delivered a new project composed of custom datalists and data grid addon, and everything is working ok.

Have you got the updated source code and packaged the addon by yourself?

Hi Douglas,

I did download the updated source code and packaged the addon, I just found out that my solr index in broken and I need to do re-indexing, maybe its affecting the add-on, what do you think?

I will update you as soon as I fix my solr index and retry the datagrid addon installation.

Thanks.

I think that is a good idea.

I guess that will do the trick.

Hello Douglas,

My Solr is now fixed and the datalist filter now works for the predefined datalist in Alfresco. Meanwhile in my custom datalist (I did not do any modification), only the fields that contains 'd:text' format works in filtering, others (d:long and d:int) give 0 results in filtering.

June

And also, I observed that before the add-o,n when editing in datalist a modal pops-up, now after the alvex add-on, it brings me to a new tab in my browser. Is this normal?

Regards,

June

Hi Douglas,

Additional question, do I have to modify something in my custom datalist xml and custom datalist-context xml?, because before the add-on was implemented I have 11 fields in a datalist, now after the add-on was added I only have 10.

May I know what you did to your custom datalist?

Best Regards,

June

I'm not sure if I understood your problem.

Where do you see 10 fields?

Are you talking about the creation form? Edit form? Datagrid?

All of those are configurable in a type basis.

Originally the fields available in the datagrid is 11 (PO Number, Invoice Number, DDR Number, Supplier Name, Payment Terms, Status, Attachments, Comments, Date Created, Date Modified, Actions), now after the add-on, the datagrid available is 10 (PO Number, Invoice Number, DDR Number, Supplier Name, Payment Terms, Status, Attachments, Comments, Date Created, Actions).

Also In Edit Form (editing a data in the datalist) it takes me to another tab, the modal function is I think broken. Take a look at the before and after image below.

After

Sorry, but I couldn't even check.
I'm not in my country now, and it's complicated to test it.
I can try to help you when I'm back to home on the next week.
