Re: glz_custom_fields
When i use custom fields in glz_cf 1.5.0, which are set to accept multiple entries, then those show up in an article as
entry1|entry2|whateverelseentry|thelastentrymaybe|butmaybenot
how can i use a different separator than | – say i want to use commas to display between single entries?
unfortunately <txp:custom_field /> doesn’t have a break="" attribute…
and note, that sthg. like <txp:if_custom_field name="genre 1" separator=", "> doesn’t help either.
I suspect i have to edit glz_cf ?
Thanx much in advance!

Re: glz_custom_fields
Yes, that’s how glz-cf stores multiple values. I think the reasoning was so that you could have values in your multiple values that contain commas. What you can do is to use rah_replace to turn it into a comma-delimited list or rah_repeat to process the list using the separator it has.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Thanx for the hint, Jakob. No idea why i never got to use this nifty little plug before.

Re: glz_custom_fields
By the way Jakob, i suppose you need to add
if (class_exists('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry')) { Txp::get('\Textpattern\Tag\Registry') ->register('rah_replace') ; }
to the plugin code to make that nasty tag error go away in debug mode. :)

Re: glz_custom_fields
I am wondering, how to extract the single entries from custom fields accepting multiple entries, to process them further, use them as search tags etc.
Could someone get me on the right path, maybe with an example script?
etc_search?
Thank you very much!

Re: glz_custom_fields
A pull request is awaiting 4.8 to implement a finer multi-valued custom fields control. Atm, I would use etc_query for individual items extraction:
<txp:etc_query data="a|b|c" markup="list:|" query="1" />will output the second item of data list (namely b=data[1]), the index starting with zero.
And yes, you should be able to use etc_search to, say, retrieve the articles sharing some values with a given list. Please provide an example of what you want if you need help.

Re: glz_custom_fields
Thank you, etc, much appreciated.
I want to read multiple values from one custom field (which are delimited with a | ) in my case custom_25, split those values into a list of individually searchable values to find out, which other articles have that particular term in their custom_25 entries and compile those related articles into a list to look at.
Practical example
One article has
entry1|entry2|entry3 in custom_25
Now i want to find out, which other articles have entry3 also in their custom_25.
Thanx much for any hints. I haven’t etc_query installed (on txp 4.6.2) but smd_query 0.50, but no real mysql query experience….

Hello Jakob,
Is it possible to get this new version :-)) ?
