[Phpwebsite-developers] Filtering a PHPWS_List

[Ulf H. <U1...@ul...>]

Hi,

we ran into the necessity of displaying a filtered PHPWS_List, for 
example for displaying all documents of a certain category (which IMHO 
is a great value add for doc manager).

This needs
- a pre-populated drop-down for categories above the list
- the ability to ass a INNER JOIN sql statement to PHPWS_List
- the ability to pass a parameter to PHPWS_Pager for the correct 
pre-selection of the drop-down.

While adding the drop-down control is a piece of cake, actually passing 
a JOIN statement needs customizazion in
- /core/list.php:
   class variable $join, analogue to $where, including a setter functtion
    setter for $params to be passed to pager.
- core/pager.php
    evaulation of URI parameters with $params analogue to $anchors.

I am hesitant to post this as a core issue, as the main drivers for this 
would be the models which are using the list object. However, if people 
think that this is a valuable improvement of the core, I will be more 
than happy to submit my code.
