Hi, I bought the subscription just few weeks before and I've never developed Joomla components before, so sorry for such a noobie question.

I have three tables: Containers, Folders and Documents. Every Folder has its own kontainer (foreign key) and everz document has its folder (foreign key). On Folders and Documents grid view in frontend i have filters which filter Folders by containers and Documents by Containers and Folders.

What I am trying to do is to have a link from a line in Containers grid to the Grid of Folders filtered by the Container. And the same thing for Folders and Documents.

I tried searching this forum, but couldn't find any sollution that would work in Joomla 3 :( And because the filters don't change the URL, I can't link them directly :(

Also I haven't been able to add menu item which would link to a specific Folder filtered by Container, althought it should work since few verzions of j-cook before.

Thanks.

There are few way to do what you try to do.
Did you get sorted out now ?

Don't forget that every filter can be sent by url :
...&filter_myfiltername=XXX
Sometimes you can see them in the url sometimes not.

I explain :
Filters are using permanent vars, once the filter is setted up, the url is cleared out. (POST)
When you set up in URL, the filter works as well (GET)
Coding is now a piece of cake

  Excellent Tool ! This tool will save you a lot of time writing the same old structure. I've used others but this is really nice for a quick start. Makes a 3 hour task a 15 minute one. Thanks for this extension
