Searching within admin panel

    Hi there,

    I’m using CFDB and purchased the editor yesterday too.

    Is there any way of searching through entries when logged in to the admin panel?

    The search box there only filters the 100 records on screen at that point – I have thousands of entries I need to search through, and then edit. I was under the impression there was a search function that would search all CFDB entries.

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    The options you have:

    – Increase the #of records shown in the administration view (in CFDB Options admin page)

    – Create your own page with a search form so the searching happens on the server side.

    Thanks for the response.

    If I go for the second option – creating my own page with a search form – would this be editable? (as the admin panel is, with the editor plugin)

    It would be if you use the [cfdb-datatable edit=”true” form=”form-name”] short code.

    This is working great now, thanks!

    When adding a filter, is there a way of searching two columns with one value from a single search field?

    I’ve currently got this working, but it would be great if this could also display results if the ‘searchvalue’ is present in ‘column1’ or ‘column2’.

    Working just for ‘column1’ using the following code:

    filter="column1~~/.*$_POST(searchvalue).*/i"

    Thanks again!

    Should’ve tested this more thoroughly before asking the last question – got this working using a simple OR || operator, like so:

    filter="column1~~/.*$_POST(searchvalue).*/i||column2~~/.*$_POST(searchvalue).*/i"

    All great – thanks again for your help Michael – a really handy plugin!
