I'd like to make my date fields to automatically select "Between" instead of "Contains" in my search panel. Any idea on how to do this?

Tried this link before, but I need it for the search panel and not the advanced search, as I have that disabled. I added the code to my report javascript onload event and got a loading screen that never when away, then I tired it in my search page and nothing happened.

I see what you saying. To manipulate search panel use SearchField and SearchController objects.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
This looks like what I need but I'm having difficulties getting it to work. Should I add this to the onLoad on the search page? I've created a report as oppose to a table for the output. Does this make a difference?

Basically what I'm saying is that I just copied and pasted the code and it just stayed stuck on my loading screen.
Sergey Kornilov admin 3/11/2013

Copying and pasting sample code is not enough. You need to make sure you applying this code to correct page (List page) and that all field names are correct.

Yes, that is where my confusion is:

var srch = pageObj.getSearchController();

var field = srch.getSearchFields()[0];
field.setOption(Runner.search.options.BETWEEN);


Looking at the code above, I'm not sure where to reference the field name?

Anybody know the answer? Nothing I try works.

I would suggest to post your application to Demo Account and open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending your Demo Account URL. 'Demo Account' button can be found on the last screen in the program.

I would like to, but my boss is very picky when it comes to privacy.

I don't mind playing around with the code myself, but nothing that I've tried thus far works.

If someone could just let me know where I reference my fields/page id/etc. then I will try it out on my end.
Thanks for your help.

I just had a naive idea.
let me suppose your project list page is: myproject_list.php; your date field name is: mydate.
In case you want your list page to have your date field selected in the search panel and search parameter be BETWEEN, Just redirect to your page to:
myproject_list.php?q=(mydate~between~).
Hope it helps.

Naive? More like innovative. Thank you, it worked!

The only issue is that the redirect will display records even though 'no records' is checked.
