Search Format Not Held On Re-Order

RT Users
1

With RT 3.2.2, I like the ability to customize the search format, including
creating columns for custom fields. I have ran into one issue where if you
exec a search with a customized format, the format is not held when
re-ordering the results by clicking one of the links in the header. I can
see the code in /html/Elements/CollectionsAsTable/Header, but I haven’t been
successful in converting the @Format argument into the right part of the
query string for the header links. Any thoughts on how I can do that?

Thanks.

yet, unless that is done somewhere else.

Have you tried RT 3.2.3rc1?

I haven’t, but I guess I should have looked their first :wink:

I’ll have a look.

I probably won’t get a chance to stand up 3.2.3rc1 today, but on first
glance I don’t see anything in /html/Elements/CollectionsAsTable/Header
where the Format string gets put in the link for the sortable column
headers. Of course, it could be implemented in a different way.

I’ll give you a heads up when I get a chance to actually install rc1, maybe
early next week.From: Jesse Vincent [mailto:jesse@bestpractical.com]
