'advanced' fetch function problem

Thursday 22 April 2004 2:55:45 am

hi all
i have 2 classes: article and article2, both with a checkbox attribute called "publish_on_frontpage".
in my home page i'd like to have a fetch function that fetches articles and articles2 with the 'publish_on_frontpage' checkbox checked.
that's the fetch function code:

{let news_list=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, 2,
                                           limit, 1,
                                           attribute_filter, array(array( 'article/primo_piano', '=', true(),
                                                                          'article2/primo_piano', '=', true() ) ),
                                           sort_by, array( published, false() ) ) )}

no problem if there is an article checked as published on frontpage, but if i'd like to have an article2 it isn't published there.

how can i fetch object of these 2 classes by the 'publish_on_frontpage' checkbox?

best regards
alessandro

hi paul

following your suggestion i wrote:

				   {let news_list=fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, 2,
															  limit, 1,
															  attribute_filter, array('or', array( 'article/primo_piano', '=', true()), array( 'article/prodotti', '=', true() ) ),
															  sort_by, array( published, false() ) ) )}

and it's working.
but this code fetches objects by 2 attributes of the SAME object (article)
if i try to write 'article2/primo_piano' instead 'article/prodotti' i don't get anything...

any suggestion?

best regards

yes paul
the new class (article2) is displayed without problems by all. The example you suggested me is about two attributes of the same class, while my need is to fetch two attributes of two different classes.
i think that this a sintax problem...

any hint?
cheers

Might also be worth filing a bug about this. The fetch doesn't seem to be doing what it should be doing.
