How to display informations with a module based on the filter

Does the module shows records from the save section where those filters applied?

No, that modules is supposed to make some sql queries on some db tables where we will gonna store the informations about the country and city

Or do you suggest it would be better to add those informations in Cobalt as another section ?

If it is your tables with data stored your way, then it should be your writted code to retrive it and display.

But how do I find what filters are applied on the page using that module ?

This is very complicated system. In fact it is build so that you can apply different filters for every category. So you not always can get filters for section becuase it depends on filter mode.

But jenerally you can get them from state.

$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->setUserState('com_cobalt.section' . $key );

Where $key in most cases is a section ID. But sometimes may contain category ID, user ID, user category ID and other.

Hello

I gived a try for that but not sure it works for me, I`ve looked more inside Cobalt files and I found this:

<?php if($markup->get('filters.worns') && count($this->worns)):?>
<div class="filter-worns">
        <?php foreach ($this->worns AS $worn):?>
                <div class="alert pull-left">
                        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert" onclick="Cobalt.cleanFilter('<?php echo $worn->name?>')" rel="tooltip" data-original-title="<?php echo JText::_('CDELETEFILTER')?>">
                        <img alt="X" src="/<?php echo JURI::root(TRUE)?>/media/mint/icons/16/cross.png"></button>
                        <div><?php echo $worn->label?></div>
                        <?php echo $worn->text?>
                </div>
        <?php endforeach;?>
        <?php if(count($this->worns) > 1): ?>
                <button onclick="Joomla.submitbutton('records.cleanall');" class="alert alert-error  pull-left">
                        <div><?php echo JText::_('CORESET'); ?></div>
                        <?php echo JText::_('CODELETEALLFILTERS'); ?>
                </button>
        <?php endif;?>

        <div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<br>
<?php endif;?>

Do you think I can use a records module and copy part of this code in the template used.

I see it renders the filter label name with:

and filter value with:

then maybe apply something like:

if $worn->lablel == 'country' {

     do this query and show informations for '$worn->text'

}

Dont know just my idea :)

What do you think Sergey will this be possible ?

Rgds

$this->worns is not part of the module. It is only in markup and articles list templates. I do not think it will work.

So what do you think is the solution here, we really need to find a way to do this

rgds

Try this

$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->setUserState('com_cobalt.section' . $key );
var_dump($filters);

Where $key is section ID. You will see if you have filters or not. Just make sure some filters are applied to the section.

I just did this:

$key = '1';
$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->setUserState('com_cobalt.section' . $key );
var_dump($filters);

But nothing displayed on the var_dump, just a NULL result

Did you apply filters for section ID 1?

Hello Sergey

Yes I applied some filters for that section, filters that as you know I`m displaying them with cobalt filters module.

I've tested that code in the list records page before starting the list records, could it be that the problem ? Should i use it on a php module instead ?

rgds

This part of the code could be used anywhere to ged section state and then there you can find filters and othr things.

Hey Sergey I really need your help with this.

So I`ve applied a country filter on the section with ID = 1

I`m using:

$key = '1';
$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->setUserState('com_cobalt.section' . $key );
var_dump($filters);

When i apply that filter, the result in the var_dump shows NULL, am I doing something wrong ?

I just want to find the name of the country selected in the filter I`ve applied

So then I can use the country name on a custom module

Rgds

Where you want to get access to the applied filters? In module template or markup template? In what file?

I`ve used that on a cobalt section statistics, for which I made a custom template and there I placed that code

Rgds

You mean module?

Try this

$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->setUserState('com_cobalt');
var_dump($filters);

And look what is inside. Sometimes key is not only section ID. Someitmes it is also category ID and other things.

Result is NULL

Sergey, really 2 days I`m waiting here, can you please test locally that before replying atlast ? or if not possible to help with I'd preffer to hear that.

Thanks
