Hi Meirk,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Actually this is possible. Is this a Parametric search or a regular view?

If it is a regular view then you can just add your filter to the view and then set it to get its parameter from a url attribute then you can just pass the info into the url

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

its a parametric search
But i need to add the parameter in the url string from html (any ajaz or js)

Hi Meirk,

Is the view clicked to from somewhere ?

Meaning does the user have to click on a specific link or a fixed link to get to the page that lists the view ?

If so then you can add the url Parameter to the link directly.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Meirk,

What kind of form ?

Could you let me know where the search is being clicked to ?

I mean the page that you click to get to the form.

Thanks,
Shane

It doesn't matter the previous page who links to this page as i need to add params to url according to the form fields typed in the user form at the present page

Hi Meirk,

Unfortunately, i'm the only one available today. Perhaps I can ask christian to assist with this, however he won't be available until sunday.

I took a look at the link you sent but this isn't working.

I understand what you want to achieve but what i'm not understanding is the use case. Is the user form on a separate page from the parametric search form ?

You say it depends on a value that the user selects in the user form. We have hooks that we can use to get that value they select and redirect to the form with that value in the URL.

I just need to know the page that the user form is on and the page that the search form is on and the field that will be setting the value in the URL.

Thanks,
Shane
