List Tabs Should Respect the List Pre-Filter

[tghounsell]

I was so impressed with the tabs feature of lists that I reconfigured my dbjoin element into a drop down element so that I could use the element to make tabs. But what I didn't suspect is that the the tabs feature ignores the pre-filter on the table. This seems like a bug to me. When a pre-filter is used to contextualize the records, it should also contextualize the list of tabs.

What is the behaviour?

It's building the tabs from all list data, so creating to many tabs and/or exposing data which is pre-filtered?

But if clicking on such a tab you don't get pre-filtered data (but 'no data' message)?

I have a multi-tenant site. My members table includes a field called membership-type. Each boat club has their own membership type names. So showing tabs for the membership types of club A doesn’t make sense when I’m a user from club B. My pre filter looks at a Joomla user field to determine which member records to show. But the tabs get formed based on the full list, not the pre-filtered list.

The pre-filter should apply to every aspect of the list displayed, it seems to me.

I agree.
But it has to be implemented...
At the moment it's pulling the tabs data directly from the database table.
