Filter option in webtop for news/events/anything doesn't seem to work

[neo]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use filter and obtain results in webtop.

Filter option doesn't seem to work, either with Label/Title filtering
or just by simply selecting a category!

Nothing seems to happen infact, using Filter option in the webtop for
any of the contenttypes.

Any help appreciated!

What version of FarCry core?  I assume you are also using the FarCry CMS plugin? What version of the plugin?

We are using Farcry Core 6.1.1 Version.

What I'm trying to get to is,

Within webtop of farcry, we use filtering option to display pages from certain category for every typename(dmFile/dmNews/dmEvent..)

filtering by label or filtering by category(tree) or filtering by both (label and category) does not seem to work.

After submitting the filtering options, there seems to be no action being taken!

Our filtering option (which we obtained from farcry core using ft:objectadmin) doesn't seem to work in farcry 6.1.1, it used to in 5.3

Regards,
Venkat

Its probably an issue with the category formtool.  Have you tried removing the category field from the list of filter fields?  Does the label filter work then?  If so, you may have to alter the metadata for the category field using the stFilterMetadata attribute of the <ft:objectadmin> tag.

I think this is due to formtools validation on properties that you have included in your filter. You need to override the formtool validation for the object admin.

Try adding the following before <ft:objectadmin replacing/addig property names as required 

<cfset stFilterMetadata = {

status = { ftValidation = "" },

catNews = { ftValidation = "" }

} />

And add the following to your <ft:objectadmin

stFilterMetadata="#stFilterMetadata#"

Thanks Chris.

This seems to work in dmNews. Will have a look into other troubling properties and get back.

Much appreciated.

This Seems to work by making title field Required.

We are trying to achieve the results by just choosing the category and leaving title field empty.
