I should be able to do this, but lack of sleep is taking its toll

I have a field on a grid view that i ONLY want to show if someone is looking at grid with a filter_published = 2 (ie looking at archived records)

I though the filters were passed silently through POST but I suspect i need to use a STATE call

So in essence (making this stuff up) something like

<?php if(getState::(filter.published) == 2) { ?>
<td>STUFF YOU CAN SEE IF ARCHIVED</td>
<?php }; ?>

Always be careful with states that you are under the same context. The states vars are a 2 dimentional matrix : Unlimited states vars X unlimited contexts
