Dynamic Portal Filtering

[hack-it]

Hi--I've wasted a morning trying to get a dynamic portal filter working, I'm hoping I might get a solution here.

I want a dynamic portal that will filter according to the criteria set forth by the global gt_CurrentFilter... BUT, if nothing is selected in that filter, I want everything in the portal. Preferably no scripts/no layout changes.

In the example, I have a bunch of characters in the Harry Potter books marked as either "Active" or "Inactive" according to whether or not they're still alive (no book 6 spoilers, this is strictly book 5 ) When there is nothing selected in gt_CurrentFilter I want every name to appear in the list, but if either active or inactive is selected, I want only those rows to appear in the portal.

If anyone has any suggestions, it would be most appreciated! I'm afraid that the solution is staring me in the face but with the heat I'm a little slow on the uptake these days.
