Hi, I am trying to use the following fetch with a attribute filter on a ezauthor field:
{let children=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
sort_by, array(array(published,false())),
attribute_filter , array( array( 166, '=', 'Knut Knutsen')),
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array, array('arrangement') ) )}
This fetch will return everything and not limit the fetch on 'Knut Knutsen' as I want.
The arrangement class is a custom class that I have made.
Is this possible in ez? And, if so, how would I do this?
Regards,
Håvard Eek

Hi Håvard, Pleaase try the following code:
{let children=fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
sort_by, array(array(published,false())),
attribute_filter , array( 'or', array( 166, '=', 'Knut Knutsen')),
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array, array('arrangement') ) )}
Sincerely,

Hi Håvard, On second thought, this probably won't work after all. I was thinking there might be a syntax error in your fetch, but that was before I noticed that you were using the ezauthor datatype and not text line. BTW, I took a peek into the db, and here's what the contents of an object attribute built upon the ezauthor datatype looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ezauthor>
<authors>
<author id="0"
name="John Doe"
email="john@company.com" />
</authors>
</ezauthor>
I don't have any good ideas as to what value to use when fetching objects of a specific author, though, or if it's even possible. Sincerely,

I think the author datatype returns a list of authors, since the datatype is meant to handle multiple authors. If you want to check for authors then you need to explicitly work through the returned array checking its values. A useful addition to attribute_filter would be to look in arrays too :) paul

Thanks for the replies!
What I actually is tying to do here is limit the fetch for the current user.
So that the current user only gets the arrangments that he has created.
If this is not possible (with fetch on ezauthor), I will try a work around.
E.g. create a text field in the arrangement class that will be filled with the username upon creation, and then do a fetch based on this username.

Håvard Eek

hello Håvard,
we have the same problem over here and do not have a proper solution either.
If you do that workaround that you propose, you have to fill in the field with the username manually each time an author creates an new article. I think this is somehow inconvenient. Is there any possibility to fill in that field with the username automatically?
Greetings,
Nico
