File Manager launchDialog filtering

Permalink
Hello,

I was wonder how to use the filtering options in the launchDialog method. In search.js the following comment can be found.

// filters must be an array of objects ex: [{ field: Concrete.const.Controller.Search.Files.FILTER_BY_TYPE, type: Concrete.const.Core.File.Type.Type.T_IMAGE }]


But passing this as an options doesn't give any results. I was hoping to be enable to filter the results of the files shown based on the value of a custom file attribute.

var options = {
      filters : [{ field : 'attributeName', value : 'some value' }]
 }
ConcreteFileManager.launchDialog(function(data) {
    ConcreteFileManager.getFileDetails(data.fID, function(r) {
        jQuery.fn.dialog.hideLoader();
        var file = r.files[0];
        oldLauncher.html(file.resultsThumbnailImg);
        oldLauncher.next('.image-fID').val(file.fID);
    }, options);
});


Thx

After some more searching in the Concrete core I found out you can use the filter as follows.

{filters: [{field : 'akID', value : 'someVal'}]}


The php code related to this can be found here:
