attribute_filter on ezauthor field

Thursday 29 April 2004 5:16:09 pm

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,

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.

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.
