filtering a list

[Alexander Gabriel <al...@barbalex.ch>]

Hi

This must be a very dumb question.
The definitive guide says, lists filter like views.
For views it gives this
example: /blog/_design/docs/_view/by_date?key="2009/01/30 18:04:11"
Why does this list not filter by User?: window.open(path +
'_list/BeobExport/BeobListe?User="' + User + '"');

Thanks for help

Alex

Hi Dennis

That did it. I hadn't known that you can only sort and filter by key.

Thanks a lot!

A list is a function that transforms view output (into, say, xml or csv or
something). Parameters are either used by your list function or processed by
the view, which you can only sort by key. So if BeobExport had user as its
key, you'd say ?key="<user>".
