Template fetch, avoid the extended_attribute_filter

Sunday 04 May 2008 9:47:25 am

Hi !

I have an article class who has two datetime attributes, one to store the start of the publication and the other to store the end of the publication.

The start_publication attribute is required so he's never empty.
The end_publication attribute is not required so he can be blank, and here is my problem.

If the two attributes are set, this attribute_filter is working :

'attribute_filter', 	array(
'and',
array( 'article/start_publication', '<=', $actualtimestamp ),
array( 'article/end_publication', '>', $actualtimestamp )
)

The problem is that if end_publication is blank, objects are not fetched.

I have tryied to do this :

'attribute_filter',	array(
	'or',
	array(
		'and',
		array( 'article/start_publication', '<=', $actualtimestamp ),
		array( 'article/end_publication', '>', $actualtimestamp )
	),
	array(										                      
		array( 'article/end_publication', '=', '0' )
	)
)

But it doesn't works and I would prefer avoid to develop an extended_attribute_filter if possible...

Thanks in advance !

Hi André,

You're right I'll maybe use the first solution : Wait until date to publish and cronjob to hide.

Thanks a lot !
