Massimiliano Bariola	Tuesday 28 June 2005 6:42:37 am hi, is there a way to implement the LIKE functionality for attribute_filter? e.g. from documentation, I would like to find all nodes whose Text attribute contains the word "the". So, I'd like to pass as condition not "=" but "%" for contains (a-la-mysql). as far as I know, attribute_filter allows me only to search for the exact match, unless I write my own search extension. As this is - I suppose - a VERY common need for eZ programmers, I am wondering whether there is a simpler/quicker way.
Paul Borgermans	Tuesday 28 June 2005 9:26:49 am Hi This was added in 3.6, see http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/stable/3.6/doc/features/3.6/content_tree_enhanced_filters.txt I also created patches againts 3.5.2 and 3.4.6. Still have to do it for the 3.5.3 and 3.4.7 releases: http://ez.no/community/contribs/hacks/more_attribute_filter_operators_and_fetch_by_owner_id hth -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
