etc_query: all things Textpattern

zero · 2012-08-02 09:45:26

I’m confused re MAMP/WAMP versions. I thought that 5.3.5 came after 5.3.10 and that 5.3.10 came before not after 5.3.8 (because I thought 10 = 1 in these versions).

Anyway, I upgraded MAMP, now using PHP 5.4.4, and etc.query works fine and my problem is solved :-) Thanks!

Version 0.98: respects php scripting settings and user levels. Enhanced range generation.

etc:

Thanks again for your help. I am hoping you can assist one more time. The above works great, but now I am looking to include not only drop down selections, but also a multi select option for the end user. I use glz_custom_fields for the back end.

With drop downs, the url returns this: .../search?Color=Blue&Model=Honda&Price=25000

When I add a multi select field called “Features”, I get the following url: .../search?Color=Blue&Model=Honda&Price=25000&Features=XMRadio&Features=Moon+Roof

For the multi select, I am using this in the search form:

dropdowns ... drop downs ... drop downs ...

<INPUT NAME="Features" TYPE="CHECKBOX" <txp:if_variable name="Features" value="XMRadio">selected</txp:if_variable>value="XMRadio"> XMRadio<BR>2
<INPUT NAME="Features" TYPE="CHECKBOX" <txp:if_variable name="Features" value="Moon Roof">selected</txp:if_variable>value="Moon Roof">Moon Roof<BR>

The problem is that the the multi select returns nothing if I just select that and nothing else. If I use a drop down in combination with a multi select it also returns nothing. If I just use drop downs without the multi select everything works fine.

I am using the following form for the search results:

<txp:etc_query globals="variable" data="{?Model}{?Color}{?Price}{?Features}?">
  <txp:article_custom
    {$?({?Model}|Model='<txp:variable name="Model" />'|)}
    {$?({?Color}|Color='<txp:variable name="Color" />'|)}
    {$?({?Price}|Price='<txp:variable name="Price" />'|)}
    {$?({?Features}|Features='<txp:variable name="Features" />'|)}
  />
<txp:else />
  <txp:article />
</txp:etc_query>

I tried multiple variations, but it seems to ignore the multi select field.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks.

Could you please show me the output of <txp:variable name="Features" /> for .../search?Color=Blue&Model=Honda&Price=25000&Features=XMRadio&Features=Moon+Roof?

progre55 · 2012-08-02 14:29:43

Can do, but where do I place this to show you — do I put it in my Search Form or my Search Results Form —-

etc · 2012-08-02 14:33:56

Just before the <txp:etc_query /> block. You can do it with <txp:php>global $variable; dmp($variable['Features']);</txp:php>.

What gets returned is the word Moon Roof

etc · 2012-08-02 14:39:28

Then XMRadio is ignored? What it gives with the php code above?

progre55 · 2012-08-02 14:42:54

Yes. The only word that gets displayed when both items are selected is the second item which in this case is Moon Roof. If I just select XMRadio and not Moon Roof then thatt gets returned.

etc · 2012-08-02 14:49:40

Could you try it on .../search?Color=Blue&Model=Honda&Price=25000&Features[]=XMRadio&Features[]=Moon+Roof? And please give me the exact output of <txp:php> above.

progre55 · 2012-08-02 14:57:57

The word Array pops up —-

The problem is that I know nothing about glz_custom_fields, and extract data with <txp:article_custom /> for multiple selection seems tricky. We need help from someone acquainted with glz_custom_fields: where to find its doc?

progre55 · 2012-08-02 17:03:20

I was hoping that we may be able to use something like this esq_glzcfvallist in combination to what we have to assist with the efforts or I was thinking possibly what we have in combination with this solution

If you do not think the above are helpful — I can put a shout out and layout much better where things stand to see if anyone has some suggestions/guidance. Your assistance has been tremendiously helpful so please let me know.

I only need to know how and where glz_custom_fields stores its data, the rest is relatively easy. Does it add custom fields to textpattern table? How the multiselection values are represented?
