Attribute_filter

Is there a problem with attributes filtering on eZp 3.6.0 ?

This code don't work for me

{let children=fetch( 'content', 'list',
        hash( 'parent_node_id',   969,
              'attribute_filter', array( 'or',
                                         array( 'ann/ann_rub', '=', $param1 ),
                                         array( 'ann/ann_rub', '=', $param2 ) ) ) )}

where <b>ann</b> is a classe and <b>ann_rub</b> is an atrribute of this class. <b>$param1</b> and <b>$param2</b> are two parameters , that i pass with url. ($param1 et $param2 contain s good value).
Without attribute_filter there is no problem.

Thanks

Some type of attributes aren't supported as filter.

I think the selection attribute is one of them (have a look at the doc to confirm).

hi xavier,

Thanks for your reply.
Here is a part of the ezpublish documentation according to attribute filter. http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/list
<i>
<b>Attribute filtering</b>

The attribute filter mechanism is controlled by the "attribute_filter" parameter. Attribute filtering makes it possible to fetch a set of nodes where an attribute (or several attributes) contains some specific data. Filtering on the attribute level is supported for the following datatypes:

* Checkbox
* Date
* Date and time
* E-mail
* Integer
* Object relation
* <b>Selection
(will not work when used as multiple selector)</b>
* Text line
* Time
</i>
my selection is single choice and the problem is still there.

hi Kristof,
thanks for your reply,
In my case, there is something in most of the sort_key_string field of the attribute concerned with my search.

If i use the search function http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/modules/content/fetch_functions/search
<i>
fetch( content, search,
hash( text, text,
[ offset, offset, ]
[ limit, limit, ]
[ section_id, id, ]
[ subtree_array, array, ]
[ publish_timestamp, time, ]
[ publish_date, date, ]
[ section_id, id, ]
[ class_id, id, ]</i>
<b>[ class_attribute_id, id, ]</b>
<i>[ sort_by, sort_by ] ) )</i>

it's good.

Maybe the class "ann" (or the class attribute "ann_rub") isn't cached yet in the class identifier cache. You can try to clear the class identifier cache through the admin interface.

hi Marko,Kristof

<i>Does your code generate an error or warning (see debug output)?</i>
no error according to this request.

<i>What does "don't work" exactly mean? Does it return more or less results than it should?</i>
the request return noting.

<i>P.S. Did you clear the cache recently?</i>
yes,

i see that Dominik have the same pb. The pb should be with Selection attribute.

thanks Kristof,it works now by using your notes
{let children=fetch( 'content', 'list',
hash( 'parent_node_id', 969,
'attribute_filter', array( 'or',
array( 'class_name/attribute_name', '=',id of the select(not the value) ),
array( 'ann/ann_rub', '=', $param2 ) ) ) )}
