Hi everyone…

What I'm trying to accomplish is getting an advanced search in a dashlet. Looking in the web, I found this: http://loftux.se/en/2010/02/25/advanced-search-in-alfresco-share/.

Like you see, the solution is really simple: create a form with the fields you need, concat the values from those fields and get a url like this: /documentlibrary?filter=customQuery&filterData=file_whitepaper|doctype_contract. I was on 3.2 version and everything worked fine, but we migrated to 3.2r  and it doesn't work anymore.

I've doing some logging in doclist.get.js, filters.lib.js and parse-args.lib.js, which are the ones involved in processing the url.

case "category":
            // Remove any trailing "/" character
            if (filterData.charAt(filterData.length - 1) == "/")
            {
               filterData = filterData.slice(0, -1);
            }
            filterParams.query = "+PATH:\"/cm:generalclassifiable" + Filters.iso9075EncodePath(filterData) + "/member\"";
            break;

      //Código para la búsqueda avanzada en Share
         case "customQuery":
      
      var filterDoctype = " AND(";
      var filterDoctypeCount = 0;

   logger.log("Custom query");

            filterQuery = "+PATH:\"" + parsedArgs.rootNode.qnamePath + "//*\"";

   logger.log("args.fliterData length: " +args.filterData.length);
            if(args.filterData.length > 0)
            {
                 var strData=decodeURI(args.filterData);
                 logger.log("cadena de busqueda:" + strData);
                 var queryArray=strData.split("|");
         logger.log("longitud arreglo:" + queryArray.length);
                 for(var i=0;i < queryArray.length;i++)
                 {
                    var strQuery=queryArray[i];
                    var strQueryArray=strQuery.split("_");
                    logger.log("elemento 0:" + strQueryArray[0]);
                    logger.log("elemento 1:"  + strQueryArray[1]);
                    switch (strQueryArray[0])
                    {
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In filters.lib.js, in the switch part, it gets to "customQuery", but when it comes to if(args.filterData.length > 0), throws this exception: Cannot read property "length" from null.

Like I said, this was working on 3.2 and args.filterData contains the parameters that I put into the url but in 3.2r is alway null. The only difference I realized is the way document library page is called to show other option like "all", "editingMe", "editingOthers", etc.. Instead of /documentlibrary?filter is /documentlibrary#filter…what make me think that maybe I'm sending a malformed url and that's why I'm getting always null.

I really need help with this…thanks in advanced.
