• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Filters (Lists)

No.
A MySQL view is at any time showing the actual data of the underlying DB table(s).
 
select
`person_repeat_f`.`parent_id` AS `parent_id`,
group_concat(`person_repeat_f`.`notes` separator '<br>') AS `notes`
from `person_repeat_f` group by `person_repeat_f`.`parent_id`

Then in your "slim" list (without the joins to the repeat groups) add a join (id to parent_id, repeat=no) to this view.
Now you can display and filter the "notes" in the slim list.

Hello.
So if I use views, "advanced search" can't have dropdowns with select values, right?
Thanks.
 
Another thing, I have seen in the wiki that it is possible also search by doing a form search and using the seach plugin as well. What are the differences between these and the advanced search of the lists? Are there other ways to search or filter?

Search form doesn't help you in your particular case. It's just another way of doing the search and maybe gives some extra options of designing the form to better meet your needs. And the search plugin is to integrate the Fabrik data with Joomla's search function, so the Fabrik data can be searched from Joomla global search.

And this would not be worth what I want? Does not it work to filter lists in front-end?

Thanks
 
It just includes the Fabrik list data in Joomla global search results among articles, news feeds and other data.

Ok then it doesn't work for me.
The joins to mysql views would help me.
I would need Troester to answer me about the dropdowns in the search fields.

I have tried putting dropdowns for search field values, but can't get it to work

Thanks
 
Read the topic. It is a join to a mysql view with GROUP_CONCAT fields

There is a single record for each id of the parent table and all repeating values concatenated in the same field.

The dropdown shows all the concatenated values for each id. I want the individual values to be shown to filter

Id .............. Values_concat
1............................ 0
............................... 1
................................3

2...............................0
..................................2

Dropdows shows in this example:
013 (to id 1)
02 (to id 2)

I want shows values:

0 -> A
1 -> B
2 -> C
3 ->'D

You are right, I should reduce my multitasking and improve the habit of reading long threads or be quiet :)
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
