Web Part Dropdown list filter?

[Brett]

Hi Alexander,

I’m trying to use this on a web part page, not on a New or Edit form page as a webpart dropdown filter that is connected to a List Web Part on the same page.

Can you please advise if this can be done by replacing the Single-line Text Field to for example a HTML Form Web Part?

If not, which solution could I use that can do this?

I’m currently using a manual HTML Form Web part to display a drop down of names, like this post: http://www.sharepointbinder.com/1/post/2012/02/filters.html but I would like to do this dynamically.

Thanks,

Brett

Hi Alexander,

Any ideas what I can do here for this?

I have scoured the web and I can’t seem to locate any JQuery solution that can provide a dropdown column webpart which then filters another List Web Part on a Web Part Page.

I found this: http://modery.net/providing-filter-dropdowns-for-a-sharepoint-listlibrary-with-jquery/
But it needs to be placed above a List View.

Thanks,

Brett

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. I tried to attach a script generated select to a list view, but it didn’t work as the page refreshed when I tried to filter the view – resulting in the select falling back to the default value returned from the query.

If you want to try it out yourself, here is the code I tried to use in the HTML form web part:

<select id="myCustomListFilterDropdown" name="T1"></select><input type="button" value="Go" onclick="javascript:_SFSUBMIT_"/>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/SPJS/DFFS/plugins/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/SPJS/DFFS/plugins/SPJS-utility.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var oRes = spjs_QueryItems({"listName":"Dummy","listBaseUrl":"/DFFS","query":"<Where><IsNotNull><FieldRef Name='Title' /></IsNotNull></Where>","viewFields":["ID","Title"]});
if(oRes.count < 0){
	alert("Query failed, please check your parameters");
}else{
	var b = [];
	$.each(oRes.items,function(i,item){
		b.push("<option value='"+item.ID+"'>"+item.Title+"</option>");
	});
	$("#myCustomListFilterDropdown").append(b.join(""));
}
</script>
