Hi

Joomdoc has great features (versioning, full text search, webdav...) but there is one missing feature I can't see how I can achieve:

Since we now have a full DMS with JoomDoc, users should organized their private dashboards with their custom lists of documents.

These lists could be seen as search results on custom pre defined searches.

For example one user may define 'customers' and 'invoices' as criteria where another user would have chosen 'projects' and 'years'.

In Joomdoc these criteria could be seen as custom fields. Then in the Joomdoc search each user could chose its criteria and fill the input text with the values he wants.

BUT how can we store these searches so that each user already has his filled lists??

Can we create menu items on the Joomdoc search with overriden values so that one menu item launches the search with custom values etc... ??

This would open the path to custom dashboards with used documents for each user

thanks

Hello, yes, you can make an URL which pre-select search form. URL should contain params from search form. For example: index.php?option=com_joomdoc&view=documents&joomdoc_field1=1

Custom field param is joomdoc_field1

The URL you can enter into menu item of type external URL

Hello

Thanks, that seems perfect!

Hello

Sorry but it doesn't work.

I added a 'tag' field and set its value for a test document .
in the search form the new tag field appears and if I enter the right value in the input area the filter works

But if I call /index.php?option=com_joomdoc&view=documents&tag=my_value it doesn't fill the input area and the returned result is not filtered by the tag value

Did I miss something please ?


thanks

Hello, do you use right property name? It should by:

joomdoc_field1
joomdoc_field2
joomdoc_field3

etc

The prefix joomdoc_field is always the same. The number is field ID.

Hello

I created a field whose name is 'tag' and ID is 1

first I called index.php?option=com_joomdoc&view=documents&tag=myvalue

but with your explanation I now call

index.php?option=com_joomdoc&view=documents&joomdoc_field1=myvalue

... but it doens't filter anything

When I enter this url (with the domain of course) in the browser it reloads the page but the 'tag' checkbox is still unchecked! and the result is not filtered

thanks
