Hello

Am trying to setup something like http://ez.no/partners/worldwide_partners/
I looked everywhere and some times it seems am just missing the obvious.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

Am running eZ 4.0.1 and the only docs I found where
http://ez.no/developer/forum/setup_design/filtering_avilable_classes_in_folder and
http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/incoming/http_post_to_url_conversion
but they are pretty old.

Any help here is appreciated.

The page you are talking about is just using a filter if there is a "view parameter" in the URL, generated by the html form.
They probably also use some extra module redirection to receive the request and finally show a standard view template.

But you're not explaining your needs neither your problem. You should make a more concrete question...

Hello

Thank you guys..
I found how to do the filtering....All I needed is the form with the hidden input with name=DestinationURL.
Then some template code to do the fetching of data on post back.

Took me ages to find enough information on how things work.
Specially that the page I posted uses someting ezposttoview which has been deprecated.

Cheers again.

Hello Guys,

I know it has been a while since my last post on this subject.

We have recently published additional solutions and information
about this subject in an example module extension solution
called bcposttoview. http://projects.ez.no/bcposttoview

It includes a couple of different custom module views
by default to chose from which process and redirect
differently based on different needs and situations.

Ment as a useful out of the box solution or
example solution for the problem at hand.

This solution focuses mostly on the backend
redirection rather than the frontend templating.

We have also added an related article
into ezpedia about the subject / solution,
http://ezpedia.org/ez/solution_converting_html_form_post_variables_into_url_view_parameters

Hopefully more examples provided by the community of how to build these commonly desired solutions will aid others in the future.

Cheers,
Heath
