Advanced filtering repeating group from URL?

Orbit · 2025-01-02T12:43:24.214Z

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s if you celebrate! I certainly did and spent a lot of time working with Bubble.

I’ve encountered one issue that I can’t seem to solve. I’m having trouble using the advanced filter with the Get data from URL option. I’ve followed a few tutorials and now understand how to use the advanced filter with multi-dropdowns, which works perfectly. I can filter multiple values, like London and New York, and only the matching items are displayed.

However, when using the filter with the “Get data from URL” (the one in the red box), I run into an issue. If I select just New York, it correctly displays items containing New York. But if I select both New York and London, then hit the button to go to the page with parameters from the multi-dropdowns, it displays all items from the database, even those that don’t contain New York or London.

What might I be doing wrong?

Kind regards and Happy New Year!

are you trying to have New_York and London in a URL parameter and use the Get URL to retrieve both values?

Update to this Tip If you are using an approach to displaying your results that incorporates a reusable element, you would not be able to use this method…and in fact this method may be able to be adjusted using the following approach and avoids the multiple custom states for ‘is in’ vs ‘is not in’ You can do this without using any custom states [Screen Shot 2020-12-10 at 3.12.07 PM] Essentially the extract with regex pattern takes the parameter and turns it into a text list so that the cont…

Not able to filter the list through URL parameters Need help

Hey Shivam, here’s a solution - First Thing - URL parameters only take text value, so when you send a list of values, they convert it into a list of texts. then, they add a separators in between, like comma(%2c) or space (%20). So to start, send list of values from multidropdown in URL, as shown below.
