I need it to happen transparent to the user.
I've since gone to using a seperate layout for every Team Page.
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have a DataFormWebPart pulling from a list. I want to filter the web part based on a site column field of the current site. I have this field called TeamID, set it as a number field, and put a number 14 in it. I am pulling the site column value with this control:
<SharePointWebControls:Fie
The value displays fine on the page when accessed.
I am filtering the DataViewWebPart by TeamID equal to the parameter that I've created called TeamID which uses the Control "TeamID" as a parameter source.
The list is not displaying anything, I know there are records and if I set the default value of the control parameter to 14 then the data displays.
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks,
Curtis

Well using adding a QueryString Filter via browser doesn't let me filter the dataformwebpart and I need to use the dataformwebpart because I have some xsl that is putting an icon image next to every sport depending on the sport. I don't know how to do this yet throught he list form web part.
I tried adding the queryString web part in designer, set the filter correctly, connected to two web parts and the page gives me this error:
Could not find the connection provider Web Part with ID "QueryStringWebPart1"
If you use querystring to filter your dataformwebpart, you do not need to insert a query filter web part. You just attach a string in your URL link (say "&TeamID=14") and in your dataformwebpart, you define your TeamID parameter to get value from query string "TeamID".
Or you can add a simple form web part to filter your dataformwebpart. In this case, you will need to establish a web part connection which will pass the value of a control (say a text box) on the form into the TeamID parameter.
Please let me know if you need further explanation.
Same way as you did for getting value from control on the page: In your SharePoint Designer, you click on your dataformwebpart and you will see an arrow on the top right corner of the web part. Click the arrow and you should be able to see a pop up menu. Select Parameter. When you define the parameter, make it get value from querystring, specify the querystring as well as a default value, say "14" as you wish. That way, if the URL link does not contain the query string, it will use "14" as the value for TeamID.
The problem is, every team has an ID. I don't have one ID that displays them all. So if I set a default for no parameter such as 14 then I don't specific a parameter when going to the page it will still only show records for ID 14 and not records for all IDs in the list. I need a show all or one situation and not a show one or none...
Thanks for the help though, I know this has to be easier than one I'm making it.
You confused me. Your original post said you had something set in a field and you used that field to filter your dataformwebpart and your issue was that you could not make it work to filter through the parameter.
What you are discribing right now seems that you want to display all records first and then if the user chooses only display records for a specific team ID. If that is the case, you can create a view with all the columns you want (including the team ID field). Then you convert the view to XLST view in SharePoint Designer, where you can modify each row to display in your format. The reason doing this is that you will be able to have filter columns just like every SharePoint view. The user can filter via the Team ID column.
If you want to show records based on the user automatically (that means you have ways to find out the Team ID for the user), please let me know.

I do not know how you insert the SharePointWebControls:Fiel dValue control.
Anyway, why not just add a filter web part?
