The filter system provides a mechanism to allow writers of applications and modules to easily add functions to the /Lynicon/Items/List Filtering UI page.
Adding Filters by Attributes
A filter bar can be added to the Filtering page for a given piece of content or content parent class by using FieldFilterAttribute on a property to let the user filter, sort by or show that property. This functionality works on:
- String
- DateTime
- Reference
- Foreign Key
fields.
Adding Filters Manually
A filter can be added manually if it doesn't naturally associate itself with a field like this:
LyniconUi.Instance.Filters.Add(new PublishingFilter());
You can make custom filters by inheriting from any of the existing filter types.
