ONE Fetch for Multiple Folder

Hi!

I am trying to use one fetch for multiple folder, but I can not!!

I have this:

Root Folder (node_id = 2)
|_Sales
...|_News (node_id = 10)
......|article 1
......|article 2
|_Account
...|_News (node_id = 20)
......|article 3
......|text 1

I want to fetch all articles that are only in both folders "News" (Node 10 and 20)..

I don't want the articles that are in both folder "Root", "Sales", "Account" or any other folders..

How Can I do this?!!!

I tried:

{let sub_menu=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, 2,
sort_by, array( priority, true() ),
class_filter_type, include,
class_filter_array,
array ('10', 'and' '20') ) ) }

{/let}

But it doesn't work... :(

I tried other options found in this links, but nothing worked

What Can I do?

Regards.

You can use an array of subtrees.
Study this fetch function thouroghly, you'll be amazed what flexibility it offers

Thanks a lot for your reply Paul!

I studied the link that you sent and this other too:
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/components/search/search_operator

I made some test and now I have some doubts.
I created this structure:

Root Folder (node_id = 2)
|_Sales
...|_News (node_id = 10)
......|article 1
......|article 2
|_Account
...|_News (node_id = 20)
......|article 3
......|text 1

Then I tried:

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'article', subtree_array(10, 20)))}

{$search['SearchResult']} {* This Returns the word "Array" in my template *}
{$search['SearchCount']} {* This Returns the number "3" - That's right! *}
{$search['StopWordArray']} {* This Returns the word "Array" too *}

Doubts:

1. The parameter text in search operator is required, so What can I do to fetch ALL articles in both folders??
In this case the fetch didn't catch the article "text 1" in "Account/News"...

2. How can I do to show the results???

Today I use this code to show the results of ONE News folder

{let news_list=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, NODE_ID_NEWS_FOLDER,
sort_by, array( published, false() ),
class_filter_type, 'include',
class_filter_array, array( 'article' ) ) )}

<h2>News</h2>
{section var=news max=3 loop=$news_list}
{node_view_gui view=line content_node=$news.item}
{/section}
{/let}

I am not any expert in eZ, I am learn a lot of eZ Publish with the example codes... The link http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/data_fetching/content/search there isn't any example.. :(

Could you send me one exemple of how to do this??
Or could you send me other explanation for I try..

Thanks a lot again!

When you see the word Array it actually means the result is an array, so you need to look inside the array to get the results you need, ie:

{section var=SearchResult loop=$search['SearchResult']}
{$SearchResult}
{/section}

Hi Paul.

I made what you said, but it didn't work yet!!!

I have this code now:

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'article', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{section var=SearchResult loop=$search['SearchResult']}
{$SearchResult}
{/section}

{/let}

And the result is this in my template:

<b>Object(ezcontentobjecttreenode)</b>

What is my mistake??

Still doubt:

1. The parameter text in search operator is required, so What can I do to fetch ALL articles in both folders??
In this case the fetch didn't catch the article "text 1" in "Account/News"...

Thanks!
Leandro

You can allow empty searches by a setting called AllowEmptySearch in sit.ini.append under [SearchSettings]

Now you should learn to use {$variable|attribute(show)} to discover what to do in the loop.

I'm sorry to be a newbie in eZ... But I didn't understand how to use {$variable|attribute(show)}.

I tried:

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'article', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{section var=SearchResult loop=$search['SearchResult']}
{$SearchResult|attribute(show)}
{/section}

{/let}

And the result in my template was:

<b>Attribute Type Value </b>
<b>Object NULL</b>
<b>0 NULL</b>
<b>1 NULL</b>
<b> NULL </b>

<b>And many error in eZ Debug page...</b>

I searched out in eZ Site about your reply, but I found nothing for my case...

How can I use {$variable|attribute(show)} in this case?!

About the empty searches I understood...

Thanks again!

Hi Leandro

look here for the docs

http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/customization/tips_tricks/debugging_templates

And try

   {section var=SearchResult loop=$search['SearchResult']}
   {$SearchResult.item|attribute(show)}
   {/section}

Depending on the number of items you will get a list which shows which variables you can/want to use.

In fact you will get an array of objects of which the member variables (attributes) will provide what you are looking for

Hi -paul

I tried to use what you sent and now I have the output result like I wanted with this code:

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'article', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{section var=SearchResult loop=$search['SearchResult']}
<a href={$SearchResult.item.url_alias|ezurl}>{$SearchResult.item.name|wash}</a>
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$SearchResult.object.data_map.intro}
{/section}

{/let}

The result is what I want!

But I still have a problem... :(

I changed my site.ini.append allowing empty searches but it didn't work with the fetch operator...

[SearchSettings]
AllowEmptySearch=enabled

After I changed the site.ini.append, I tried all this:

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,' ', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'*', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text," ", subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text, , subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

{let search=fetch(content,search,hash(subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

And nothing worked.

What can I do now?!! :)

Thanks!
Leandro

PS: May could you get the answer in your eZ Book to me! ;-)

Try

   {let search=fetch(content,search,hash(text,'', subtree_array, array( 10, 20 )))}

Did you clear the (ini) cache?

I tried your reply and nothing happened...

See the results in eZ Debug page:

<b>Error: eZMySQLDB</b>
Query error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'order by object_count' at line 1. Query: SELECT id, word, object_count FROM ezsearch_word where order by object_count

<b>Notice: eZMySQLDB::query(0.000 ms) query number per page:0</b>
SELECT id, word, object_count FROM ezsearch_word where order by object_count

I cleared all the cache before to try...

Thanks a lot again!
