Accessing the backend filter values

Hi,

i'm writing a custom export function for one of my backend records lists. I need to be able to get the values of the filter so that I export the records that are currently on display only.

How can I get the value of the filter fields?

Thanks

They are stored in the session, e.g.

Code:

---

$session = $this->Session->getData();
$search = $session['search'];
$sorting = $session['sorting'];
$filters = $session['filter'];

---

These will then contain the search array, sorting array and filter array. You can inspect the structure with print_r();
