Example 7 - (Video) - How to use argv["query"]

Power Custom Fields PRO™ is becoming Power Custom Fields™


Power Custom Fields PRO™ is being upgraded to Power Custom Fields™. We are removing Power Custom Fields PRO™ from the market to focus resources on the combined app, Power Custom Fields™ which has all the features of PRO™ and more. Existing Power Custom Fields PRO™ users can get 65% off their new Power Custom Fields™ license by following the steps here.


You can use Power Custom Fields PRO for huge data sets. Still, showing all the options, without being able to select them by name can be a torture. So, you can limit the value count and filter them by name selecting the ones which contain those characters.

 

In order to do this, you can use argv["query"] only if you set the Filtering Strategy (from Autocomplete settings) to Datasource.

See the following example for the routine usage:

    }
}
return res;
