When using the ldap_query module, we have the awesome possibility to create views for listing and filtering LDAP data. This is amazing!
However, there's no way to have a "free text" kind of search across different attributes. When trying to add a filter, the "combine" filter from core is still there and is possible to add it to the view, but it doesn't work because it's very coupled to SQL.
Would be nice to have a filter similar to the core's "combine" filter on views to add a exposed search box for users to search across a configurable set of attributes.
- Install the ldap_query module
- Create a query
- Create a view
- Go to "Add filter"
- There's no "combine" kind of filter compatible with the ldap_query module.
- Implement a new views filter plugin, allowing the user to select one or more attributes
- The filter will create a dedicated condition group of type OR on the query, and add all selected attributes to that group.
