[SOLVED] Creating a menubar (how to filter items?)

Hello,

Happy New Year everybody!

As I'm preparing to add a menubar to my website, I'm facing several issues and questions.

• Some menus of my menubar will lead to specific pages: these ones are easy to configure, I succeeded.
• A menu of my menubar will display all articles of my website, in alphabetical order. This is easy too, I just need to route it to the URL "/?orderby=alpha&cc=p", although I don't know what "cc=p" means (?)
• I want a menu of my menubar to list the top 10 articles. Routing the menu to the URL "/?limit=10&orderby=hits&cc=p" should do the job, but... it doesn't limit the display to the first 10 articles, because there is a page 2 with the #11-#20 articles, a page 3 with the #21-#30 and so on. What can I do?
• Now my main issue. Some menus should display only the articles having a given value for a given field. I'd like to write a URL like "/?myfield=myvalue". Example: "/?release_date=2022". But it doesn't work, even when I turn research and filter to Yes in Flexi configuration (both basic search and advanced search). How can I manage?

If you could help me with my questions, I'd be very happy.

Best regards,
Hervé

hello
to remove variable in url you need to use configuration in link and not create direct link in menu
1 create a link menu and use override params to configure your display => when you actived url rewritting all variable will hidden
2 create your link like 1 remove pagination in your link menu paramq
3 create link like 1 and go to params to add filter value ...
that all regards

Hello micker,

Thanks for your answer!

I don't know what you mean about params, for I can't see anything like this in Menu Item edition (see screenshot).

However, I found the URL to filter on release_date=2022. I just used /index.php?filter_19=2022 (for release_date is my Flexi field #19). 
So, now I know what URL I'll have to write to filter on other fields 
...Except one field which is a picture (country, represented by its flag).. how could I filter on it? In the database the value column looks like a:3:{s:12:"originalname";s:17:"icons-flag-fr.png";s:12:"existingname";s:0:"";s:4:"desc";s:9:"français";}  (just an example).

Still, I don't know how to remove pagination to see Top 10 only... (?)

no create a link to a flexicontent category
use override params option
and you can add initial filter option

Hi micker,
Thanks for your answer.
I think you mean something like this:


I manage to use it this way, thank you:


But... although this works fine for a 'scalar' field (here is the text field release_date), I don't know how to manage with an image field (basically, the country field), even though I actived its filter functionality:

Any idea?

tu ne pourras pas filtrer par une image regarde dans l'ecart categorie il n'y a pas de filtrage il y a juste le texte search sur le nom de l'image
