View Data Filter settings? 01.04.2014 07:37
A few view data filter related questions please:
1. I would like to be able to have a data filter on a text field that matches when the field is non-blank. There is not a choice of "Not Equal" (to blanks), so how does one do it? Any thoughts of adding a "Not Equal" option?
2. Are the "Less than" & "More than" filters just for number fields?
3. Is the "Contains" filter a regex pattern to match text? or just a string comparison to find the specified character string somewhere in the field's value?

Hello,
This option is thought to use with text or numbers, not blank. If you want special Data filter, maybe you´ll need to add a tweak in code.
It´s not limited in code, but maybe number data is the main use.
"Contains" filter is only to search text and, by now, doesn´t accept regex pattern.

Thank you for the prompt replies.
Re: adding a "Not Equal" option
Is there some documentation on how to do this please.
I might suggest that your previous answer also be added to the standard LM documentation which is only up to v 1.2.
thanks

Hello,
There´s no special documentation for this purpouse, in order to make changes or add new functions it would require a source code modification of the extension, so it´s PHP code in Joomla framework.
Thanks for your suggestion.
