Hi,

In a tutorial made by the octoberCms team you can achieve this:

$config = $this->makeConfig('$/acme/formist/models/customer/columns.yaml');

$config->model = new \Acme\Formist\Models\Customer;

$config->recordUrl = 'acme/formist/mycontroller/update/:id';

$widget = $this->makeWidget('Backend\Widgets\Lists', $config);

$widget->bindToController();

$this->vars['widget'] = $widget;

I'd like to know how I can pass to a list a custom query like this instead:

$config = $this->makeConfig('$/acme/formist/models/customer/columns.yaml');

//$config->model = new \Acme\Formist\Models\Customer;
$config->query = DB::table('users')
    ->join('contacts', 'users.id', '=', 'contacts.user_id')
    ->join('orders', 'users.id', '=', 'orders.user_id')
    ->select('users.*', 'contacts.phone', 'orders.price');
$config->recordUrl = 'acme/formist/mycontroller/update/:id';

$widget = $this->makeWidget('Backend\Widgets\Lists', $config);

$widget->bindToController();

$this->vars['widget'] = $widget;

This way I can create my own reports based on custom queries. Thanks

There are a few events that you might want to use: https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/master/modules/backend/widgets/Lists.php#L336

I recommend to checkout the sources to dig deeper into advanced topics.

It is very very bad answer! Could you give some more obvious solution? if you know how to achive this please just answer.

Hi all, here is what I've done:

$config = $this->makeConfig('$/acme/formist/models/customer/columns.yaml');
$config->recordUrl = 'acme/formist/mycontroller/update/:id';
$widget = $this->makeWidget('Backend\Widgets\Lists', $config);
$widget->bindEvent('list.extendQueryBefore', function ($query) {
    return $this->searchQuery($query);
});
$widget->bindToController();
$this->vars['widget'] = $widget;

then, create another function to do query:

public function searchQuery($query)
{
  // Do some query here!
}
