I'm creating a database, I tried to add the database filter widget but it says "This block cannot be shown. This could be because it needs configuring, is unable to show on this page, or will show after reloading this page."

After reloading the page, the block is hidden.

The only settings for that block are Visibility/Advanced, none of them make the widget work.

Not sure what I'm missing?

Do you have any filterable fields on your database?

I have a couple of custom fields, that I would like to filter. Not sure if there's something specific to do to make the fields "filterable"?

Please screenshot them and I can let you know what it is you have wrong there

Here's one field. Note that I have to reselect the Listing View Format (=Value) every time I edit anything else and before I save again, as it's always deselected, as you can see on the screenshot.

Ah, its because its a text field. You would need something the filter block can actually add filters to. For example a select field, or radio field.

I've set it to "Select Box", gave it a few key/value, saved, chose some values for each record, and the database filter widget still doesn't appear.

Nevermind I finally saw the Allow filtering checkbox. Thanks!

Now, whenever I make an edit to a field, and attempt to save it, I get the following error. I have to click the Display Options tab and re-select a Listing View Format for both the listing view and display view before I can save my changes. Every time.

Click on the display options tab and fill in whatever is highlighted

Yes, I know, but every time I edit anything I have to do this again.

Say for example I want to add a new Key/Value pair. I edit the field, add my Key/Value pair, and I have to click the display option and RE-select a listing view format for both views. Then I can save. I have to RE-select listing view formats for both views every time I edit any other setting.

It depends on what you change. Some you will have to, as the options change.

No matter what I change, I get prompted to reselect the listing view formats, even though the options are the same and I always reselect the same.

For example if I click edit and toggle Multiple Selection, I get the error.

In fact even if I don't make any changes at all, I get the error when trying to save.

We released a patch for that. Go to System > Get Support and make sure all patches are applied.
