URL search syntax

[DLJonsson]

How can I do a custom search from the URL in the nav bar?

When I do a quick search I get a URL that looks like this.

<a href="index.php?tablename=aw_public&function=search&execute_search=1&search_from_filter=1>

When I try to make it custom.

I can't get any cogent response IE.

https://index.php?tablename=aw_public&function=search&where_clause=&cat_page_no=80&order=item_number&order_type=DESC

Shows all items but does not filter for items from catalogue page 80

How can I search for items on Page 80 via URL and have them display in the grid?

Please advise.

Hello,
if you want to set a filter via URL, this is not possible. When you execute a search, the filter is saved in session and it is there until you remove it but otherwise you cannot set it via URL.

Hello,

Did this used to work before? Because I can see some older posts which explain how to use the where_clause in the URL. However its not working for me either.

Thanks.

It was possible many years ago, the feature was then removed for security reasons.
You can create a VIEW with a pre-built filter instead.

Hello,

Well this is quite unfortunate and really we should have a solution to this. Views are not a replacement for this because as far as I understand each view is a specific filter.

I wanted to use this for custom links. I want to modify the grid template for a table and add a link on each row for one of the columns and clicking it would take me to another table including the ID as search parameter. This is like clicking on a record to see more details which is in another table. (Master/items does not work here because the ID may not be PK)

Please advise.

Thanks,
Vikash.

As I said, DaDaBIK doesn't provide a "search by URL" feature.
