Collector 0.4.0 showing all

[Being]

Hello,
In the front-end when I go to Collector all items are listed. If I search for nothing, all items are listed. How can I stop both please?

Hi,

By default, collector display all items.
In the component parameters (or menu item parameters), you can disable the parameter "Show entire listing".

Thanks Steevo,

That fixed it.

One further question please.

How can I prevent people from searching for any word in an item's fields?

I want them only to be able to search for a specific item id, not date, description etc..

Thanks,

Tim

The only way for this is to hack code...
If you're using only one collection and just want to search for a specific field, that could be easy.
In the file components/com_collector/models/collection.php
at line 347
replace

Code : Tout sélectionner

foreach ($fields as $field)
		{
			if ( $field->type == 3 )
			{
				$nameFilterCollection = 'filterfield_'.$field->id;
				$valueFilterCollection = $this->_collection->parameters->get( $nameFilterCollection, 0 );
				
				$filter_field = $reset ? $valueFilterCollection : $mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest( $option.'.collection.filter_field_'.$field->id, 'filter_field_'.$field->id, '', 'int' );
				
				if ( $filter_field != '' )
				{
					$this->_search = 1;
					$where .= ' AND v'.$field->id.'.value = "'.$filter_field.'"';
				}
			}
			if ( $search_all_value != '' )
			{
				$this->_search = 1;
				if ( $field->type == 3 )
				{
					$where2[] = 'd'.$field->id.'.content LIKE "%'.$search_all_value.'%"';
				}
				else
				{
					$where2[] = 'v'.$field->id.'.value LIKE "%'.$search_all_value.'%"';
				}
			}
		}

replace ID_OF_YOUR_FIELD (the last line) by the id of the field that you want to search on. You can find it in the list of fields in admin interface.
