Filters & Columns in the URL > Bookmark?

[efromdc]

I need to bookmark a filter. For example, instead of creating a filter in the admin section description = “festival”
I need something like

http://url/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events&description=festival

There has GOT to be a way to do this but I cant come up with a solution. Again, the goal is to BOOKMARK it…

Howdy efromdc,

There is no way to do that by default. The filters are pretty complex so they require POST data instead of GET variables. This means they do not have a unique URL.

That said you could pretty easily modify this snippet to do what you want if you are versed in PHP. You will see there that it detects a $_GET variable, and then sets the APM filters accordingly. Hopefully that makes sense, but it would prove confusing if PHP is not your bag.

Does that knowledge help any? Let me know if you don’t mind. Cheers!
