We are doing a simple seminar registration in our website using umbraco. I just wanted to seek for help on how to create a custom filter using the backoffice list view? Are there any resources you can give for me to use?
Attached is the screenshot of our page, and we want to filter the list based on the seminar or seminar date attended.
Hello, thank you for your reply sir. It seems that there is no easy way to implement custom filter. I'll just use your diploaudit plugin as a reference and the links you've shared. I hope that Umbraco can implement custom filters in the future.
Did you manage to complete the filter for list view? I'm currently seeing no way to filter the paged list of items passed to the List View controller and reducing the number of pages?
Did you guys figure out a way of doing this without changing the core?
Seems I also need to find a similar solution.
In my case though it is a little bit more complex as I need to search based on a content picker property.
I tried to use Nexu
(https://our.umbraco.com/packages/backoffice-extensions/nexu/) in the interim but I think the number of nodes might be killing it so it doesn't seem to finish building its index for the nodes with a ton of children
@Tim did you get anywhere with your implementation?
Why are the umbraco team silent about this? I have asked and somehow the question always gets sidestepped
and enable 'special' search terms, eg if editor types colour:blue - then the custom implementation of search, detects this, and only searches for List View Items with the specific colour
or
I've just created my own Custom Dashboard to give a UI dedicated to filtering results.
But be great if there was a mechanism to customise the ListView filter UI built in.
Applying custom filter for backoffice listview
Hello,

Thank you!
You can create a custom list view layout, though it's not that simple. The best two resources I know are:
https://24days.in/umbraco-cms/2016/custom-list-view-layouts/
https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/developer/extending/custom-listview/
Good luck!

Hi Mark,

Hi Mark, Andy
Did you guys figure out a way of doing this without changing the core?

Hi Francis,
No sorry I got to the point where this would need a change to the core to get it working.
Thanks Andy
Thanks Andy
I am also sitting with the same dilema at the moment and trying to avoid going that route.
If I make any positive progress will let you know.
Thanks
Did anyone get this working? I'd like to do something like this...

Hey Obi,
Nope, and now I have another task that would work really benefit from having custom filters in a list view.
Umbraco team, could do better...
Hi Obi
Is there a ticket on the issue tracker for this?
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues
Can try to see if there are any plans afoot for a ListView 2.0...
In past I've gone one of two ways with this kind of dilemma... either hijack the Search:
https://dev.to/skttl/how-to-customize-searching-in-umbraco-list-views-1knk
and enable 'special' search terms, eg if editor types colour:blue - then the custom implementation of search, detects this, and only searches for List View Items with the specific colour
or
I've just created my own Custom Dashboard to give a UI dedicated to filtering results.
