Predefine filter for table view 19 Apr 2012 15:52 #2059

I have a grid list of items in the frontend, that belong to different categories. A filter field is shown above the grid. When creating a link to this page, I cannot select a category id, in order to show only the items of a specified category.

Is there a way to "predefine" the filter? For example with an extra parameter in the url like the option, view and layout-parameter.

Thanks in advance

Yes, every filter can be predefined in url :

for instance, combo filter on category :

URL&filter_category=xx

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
