Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Thursday 04 December 2003 1:31:58 am Hi, I saw someone asking the same question a while ago, but since he didn't get a reply, I thought I would try again. Is it possible to fetch objects by a specific owner using the fetch function? I would be very surprised if it isn't, but after going through the function definition for the content module, I can find no such parameter to sort by. I was thinking that the attribute_filter might be able to do this, but it only seems to handle class-specific attributes. Next, I considered the extended_attribute_filer, but since there doesn't seem to be any documentation on this parameter, I'm stuck here as well. I could of course do a general fetch of all the objects and then sort out the ones owned by the reader while looping through them, but that seems like unnecessary overload. Also, I can't belive that fetching objects by owner isn't very common. Thanks in advance for any insight !

E.g. owner_filer, 42. The underlying code ( persitent objects ) has ready support for this. So, it's not supported. But not much coding needed to add support for this. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc

Hi,

I saw someone asking the same question a while ago, but since he didn't get a reply, I thought I would try again.

Is it possible to fetch objects by a specific owner using the fetch function? I would be very surprised if it isn't, but after going through the function definition for the content module, I can find no such parameter to sort by. I was thinking that the attribute_filter might be able to do this, but it only seems to handle class-specific attributes.

Next, I considered the extended_attribute_filer, but since there doesn't seem to be any documentation on this parameter, I'm stuck here as well.
