form and List Filtering

Greetings,

Can someone point me in the right direction of give me an example of how to filter a list in the forms and List module? I tried using a WHERE clause but wasn't successful. I'm trying to filter my results based on a column (Active) being True. I selected the True/False datatype for this column. Is this a numeric boolean? ie. WHERE Active = 1? Any help is much appreciated.

Re: form and List Filtering

Filter expression is like a WHERE statement without WHERE, however, for boolean columns, the value is the image, therefore you might either apend _UDT_Original to get "true" or "false or append _UDT_Value, which returns 0 or 1, see UDT 3.5.1 manual, p.16 f

Thanks again Sebastian.

What I needed was the "...is like a WHERE statement without WHERE..." I was trying to add the WHERE clause. To be honest the rest of your post sounded Greek . So moving forward when you mention editing apend_UDT_Original; are you referencing tables? Or XSL pages? I'm really new to this.

Re: form and List Filtering

if your boolean variable is called myvar, you need to compare:
myVar_UDT_Original = 'true' or
myVar_UDT_Value = 1
