output_form/article_custom with 'or' attribute

MrViSiOn · 2015-06-08 10:41:42

Hi:

How could I select articles with an attribute or another?

Like

<txp:output_form form=“media_form” section=“section1” ‘or’ custom_field=“custom_value_1”/>

Note that ‘or’ is something I don’t know how do this Is this possible? do I create a plugin for this?

Thank you

Hi,

plugin (faster):

<txp:etc_query data="Section='section1' OR custom_n='custom_value_1' ORDER BY Posted DESC"
    form="media_form" markup="db" populate="article" />

or smd_query, or etc_search, or … if you need to paginate.

Core:

<txp:variable name="ids" value='<txp:article_custom section="section1" break=","><txp:article_id /></txp:article_custom>' />
<txp:variable name="idc" value='<txp:article_custom custom_field="custom_value_1" break=","><txp:article_id /></txp:article_custom>' />

<txp:article_custom id='<txp:variable name="ids" />,<txp:variable name="idc" />' form="media_form" sort="Posted DESC" />

Also, watch your code punctuation – you have smart quotes going on (“” and ‘’ instead of " and ') – make sure your editor code doesn’t do that substitution.

Intersting question, I’d like to know what’s the idea behind this, output form is something totally different than article_custom. And which criterion is taken to decide the “or” switch?

MrViSiOn · 2015-06-08 12:59:53

The ‘or’ switch is because custom_fields…

There is some articles with some custom_fields and others that belongs to certain category… I want to select/show both kinds.

Ah, OK, a category set-up is clearer than the above section one.

So you can do it with <txp:article_custom /> and his attributes.

No I can’t How would you do that with article_custom?

I think there are different ways. I know not enough about the context.

<txp:output_form form=“media_form” section=“section1” ‘or’ custom_field=“custom_value_1”/>

Maybe article_custom+SQL_where ? :)

<txp:aks_article form="media_form" where="section='section1' or custom_1='custom_value_1' " />

Plugin aks_article
