Ted Striker	Monday 26 July 2004 8:00:20 am Is it possible to filter two different classes that have a common attribute? Lets say that we have different instances of an "article" class and some other of a "interview" class, with a common "date" (not publish date) attribute in the same foilder: article/date interview/date Is it poossible to filter both classes and order them by this common attribute? Should I only use a single class in avery folder? TIA Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

When you define filter you either use the attribute-id or specifies which class you use (article/date). As far as I know it NOT possible to write fetch(content, list, ...., attribute_filter('or', array('article/date','<',current_date()), array('interview/date','<',current_date()) ....) My advice is to always do a class_filter when you're doing a attribute_filter. A tip could be to do one fetch for articles and one for interviews, and afterwards combine the two arrays into one usin append. http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/template_operators/arrays/append The problem with this metod is that it is hard to do a proper sort across the classes. By the way: There is one advantage by giving your attribute the same identifiers: You can reuse template-code. Roy

I'm pretty sure that I've found these to be mutually exclusive as one implies the other.
