[solved] Filter listit extended content by any field

[Torpedine]

Is it possible to filter the ListIt Extended content in a page by any field?
I.e. If I have a "cauntry" filed among others, is it possible to have a page listing all the records that have country="italy"?

AND

Why, when using the "filter" template, categories are not available?

Yes it is, use search action.

Here is some advanced example how Listit Extended could filter stuff: http://www.protouch.fi/

Due different mechanic how category field work there is bug:

I think it is - have you looked at the module help? Check out the search parameter.

I don;t have direct experience (yet) with the filter templates, but if an item is missing anything, you can use the smarty plugin "ListItLoader" (see the module help for the ListIt2 module itself) to grab everything/anything for a particular item:

{ListIt2Loader item='item' identifier='alias' instance='ListIt2Instance' value='myalias' assign='tmp'}

@Stikki - very sweet looking site dude!

Thanks, Design ain't mine or anything, but technical solution is.

Thing is, I cannot see in the module help how to obtain something that suits my needs, and I cannot see it from the frontend

How can I have a page that shows only the records that satisfy a condition on a field?

As I said before, for example, all the records that have the field "field" equals to "somecontent?"

To be more precise, something analogue to category filtering per page.

Thanks in advance

I think i answered your question?

Use search action.

[Torpedine]

It's not clear. I can use search action to DO a search. What I need is to display only some kind of content on a page.

"search" - displays the search form.

{ListIt2<instance> search_<field_alias_to_search>='value_of_field'}

Thanks! the documentation on the module help is not clear on this...
