GridFilters - enhanced filtering for grids

[bernd01]

Hi drieraf!

Thanks a lot! Working like a charm!

Best regards,

Looking great - especially the docs!

Q1: The config arg to the constructor seems very optional now if you want to use the column model to define your filters - sadly the constructor requires it even if it's empty...

Q2: It seems the columnModel usage of filters is limited to reconfigure? If I never reconfigure the grid, how can I get filters to come through the columnModel? Must be missing something.

As a test, I edited the init method like so:

            this.grid.filters = this;

            this.addFilters(grid.getColumnModel()); // added
            this.updateColumnHeadings(); // added

This works, but is just a guess.

Those are bugs. I'll copy your post to the bugs forum.

link download GridFilters?

[calavera]

So no sharing without the svn ?

Why not publish the link at once?

if it continues, with a few plugins I start using extjs 2.x

Any estimate on when this Grid Filter extension will be available? I really need grid filtering but may have to go back to version 2.2 if not available by the end of next week.

Ah, never mind I see it won't be available until 3.1, mid-November :-(

I grabbed it from the Ext 3 Demo:
http://extjs.com/deploy/dev/examples...ter-local.html

However, I found that sorting and filtering grids with a horizontal scroll bar was a) not preserving the horizontal scroll pos and b) was not displaying the column headings correctly until after the grid was scrolled or resized.

I don't know if this is by design, a bug or an incompatibility issue with the grid filter plug-in. So I put the following together until I can investigate further. It preserves the horizontal scroll pos onload (solves both my problems). I haven't found any problems with it yet...

Ext.ux.GridViewPreserveHScroll = Ext.extend(Ext.grid.GridView, {
    onLoad: function() {
        //overridden to preserve the horizontal scroll position
        this.scroller.dom.scrollTop = 0;
    }
}); 

Use an instance of this as the grid view in your grid...

        clicksToEdit: 1,
        view: new Ext.ux.GridViewPreserveHScroll(),
        loadMask: true,
        ... 

Tested in the browsers I have: IE6, IE8, FF3.5, Chrome 2, Safari 4 (Windows)

Doesn't work in Opera 9.64 for some reason - the headings display is not corrupted, but the horizontal scroll pos is not preserved.

How would I go about customizing this filter to work as an input box in my column header instead of as part of the column header menu? The idea is that I would like to display the filters as part of the grid.
