Is $search_date available for ezfind?

Hi

$search_date is not available. This might be something we forgot to include from the regular search in eZ Publish. Can you point me to existing documentation, or more information about it ?

Hi

$search_date will not be supported directly in eZ Find 1.1. However, it's possible to implement the same functionality using filters in eZ Find 1.1. I'll add how to emulate the search_date parameter with filers in the documentation for eZ Find 1.1

Btw, if there's functionality you'd like to see in future versions of eZ Find, please use the issue tracker: http://issues.ez.no/ProjectSelect.php?Id=8

Best regards

Hi,
for those who are interested, I made a patch of ezfind_1.0.0beta2 (for eZ v.4) to make this functionnality available.

Here is the patch (file extension/ezfind/search/plugins/ezsolr/ezsolr.php) :

481a482,505
+
+ /* BEGIN PATCH : make $search_date available */
+ if (isset($params['SearchDate']) && $params['SearchDate'] > 0 ) {
+ $searchDateTime = new DateTime('today');
+ switch ($params['SearchDate']) {
+ case 1: // one day
+ $searchDateTime->modify("-1 day");
+ break;
+ case 2: // one week
+ $searchDateTime->modify("-1 week");
+ break;
+ case 3: // one month
+ $searchDateTime->modify("-1 month");
+ break;
+ case 4: // 3 months
+ $searchDateTime->modify("-3 months");
+ break;
+ case 5: // one year
+ $searchDateTime->modify("-1 year");
+ break;
+ }
+ $filterQuery[] = 'm_published:['.$searchDateTime->format('U').' TO *]';
+ }
+ /* END PATCH */
