Multiselection attribute filtering

Tuesday 13 December 2005 5:56:08 am

I think you can filter eZSelection with multiselect by using 'like':

'attribute_filter',array('or',
                              array('yourclass/yourmultiselectionattrib', '=', '5'),
                              array('yourclass/yourmultiselectionattrib','like', '5-*'),
                              array('yourclass/yourmultiselectionattrib','like', '*-5' ),
                              array('yourclass/yourmultiselectionattrib','like', '*-5-*' )
                             )

But then you can't filter with other conditions that have to ('and') match.

Hi,

As I mention previously we had a situation where we had an extensive ezSelection MultiSelect attribute that had to get filtered and by using attribute_filter it wasn't solving it. I later implemented:

{def $search=fetch( 'content', 'search',
hash( 'text', $strCat,
'class_id', 25,
'class_attribute_id', 226,
'offset',$view_parameters.offset,
'limit', $numberOfObjects,
'attribute_filter', array( array( 'article_issue/top_story', '<>', 1 ) ),
'sort_by', array( 'modified', false() )
))}

This search helps me filter the MultiSelect and get all the Articles that match the Category.

Now do to this clients new request(Upgrades to the site) he wants a CheckBox added to thses Articles that also will have to be filtered in the above fetch. I've been trying to add the attribute_filter to my previous fetch and obviously it doesn't work as it's not supported by this type of search. see: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_7/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/search

Has anyone done a MultiSelection search/filter AND filtered other attributes at the same time. Is this even possible?

Hi Xavier,

Thanks for your reply.

The checkbox solution is not possible do to that this client has over 30categories listed in the MultiSelection Attribute and checkboxes would just get too messy.
