Hi Sakis,

on the awesome JFilter YOOtheme integration plugin there seems to be no ID on the JFilters Result Item. 

To have it would be very helpful. - Why? In my usecase I need it to construct a dynamic link to the edit page on the Joomla Frontend using a PHP - JS Hack. 

Would it be possible to add the ID to the JFilters Result Item - see attached screenshot.

Kind regards,

Bernhard

Hi Sakis,

> The list is about the article's fields. We have to look at the capabilities within the YOOtheme framework.

I hope the ID is available. Really looking forward to this. 

Thanks again for this great Plugin.

Hi Sakis,

thanks for offering help. - All right, I'll try to explain what I try to achieve.

Usually I offer my clients a restricted frontend access to edit some Joomla articles without the need to access the rather complex Joomla backend. As you can see on the attached screenshots, I use a Joomla article with a Table9 Yootheme Pro Element to list all articles of a specific category. The client can access an individual article in edit view through this list. This works like this:

I use the Table9 Link to create an edit button wich basically opens Joomla's "Create new article" page. The Button needs the ID (see image *11.png) of the article and a "Before" string like this (See screenshot): 

/?task=article.edit&return=[RETURN]&a_id=

The [RETURN] parameter gets replaced by jQuery with the result of a invisble Yootheme PRO text field, where the return hash is calculated like this (- using RegularLabs Sourcerer):

echo base64_encode(\Joomla\CMS\Uri\Uri::getInstance());

The text field's ID in this case is uri_base64encoded. Here's the jQuery code I use in the custom.js of a Yootheme Pro child theme to replace all the [RETURN] flags with the uri_base64encoded, calculated in the text field:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {

if (!window.jQuery) {

// UIkit.notification("Table 9 Element: jQuery is not loaded. Datatables module will be disabled.", {status:'warning', pos: 'bottom-right'});

return;

}

else {

jQuery(document).ready(function($){

            // fix return parameter in links to editor view

            // example URL /labelmanager/label-create?task=article.edit&return=[RETURN]&a_id=

            $('.fs-table-column.fs-table-link .el-link.uk-button').each(function() {

                if (this.href.indexOf('-create') != -1) {   

                    this.href = this.href.replace('[RETURN]', $('#uri_base64encoded').text());

                }

            });

            // for links to edit form in title column or on image

            $('.fs-table-column .el-title a').each(function() {

                if (this.href.indexOf('-create') != -1) {   

                    this.href = this.href.replace('[RETURN]', $('#uri_base64encoded').text());

                }

            });

        });

    }   

});

On large datasets Table9 element gets super slow and I cannot use this approach. But luckily you created JSFilters!  :-)

Instead of one article with a Table9 Yootheme element I use a filtered category page using a JSFilters Menu item. The Table9 Yootheme Pro element gets filled with all entries defiened in the JSFilters Menu item. - The only drawback is, that there is no article ID in the JFilters Results Item (see image *29.png). 

I hope this makes sense for you.

Thanks for your help and time.

This is awesome!

Hi Sakis,

of course I will write a review.

One more idea: if you look at the parameters Yootheme Pro offers on a dynamic Article in a Category Blog view (see attachment), you see quite a couple parameters still missing in JSFilter Results item. Would it be is possible to offer ALL these parameters in your JFilters Results Item, too? - If so, switich in between Category Blog and JFilters Results Menu would be a no brainer - from a user point of perspective.
