Hi,

I have added a node list to my site. I would like to exculde a specific section from it.
I know I should change the tpl file. Is there a way to change the fetch function or should I add a condition? I am not very good at programming....

here is the code :

<div class="toolbar-item {$placement}">
    {section show=or($show_subtree|count_chars()|eq(0), $requested_uri_string|begins_with( $show_subtree ))}
    {cache-block keys=$tool_id}
    {default limit=5}
    {section show=$sort_by|count|eq( 0 )}{set sort_by='published'}{/section}
    {let node_list=cond( $treelist_check|eq( 'yes' ),
                             fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, $parent_node,
                                    limit, $limit,
                                    class_filter_type, exclude,
                                    class_filter_array, array( 'folder' ),
                                    sort_by, array( $sort_by, false() ) ) ),
                         fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $parent_node,
                                limit, $limit,
                                class_filter_type, exclude,
                                class_filter_array, array( 'folder' ),
                                sort_by, array( $sort_by, false() ) ) ) )}
    <div class="toollist">
        <div class="toollist-design">
        <h2>{$title}</h2>
        <div class="content-view-children">
        {section name=Node loop=$node_list sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
             
 {node_view_gui view=listitem content_node=$Node:item}

           
        {/section}
        </div>
        </div>
    </div>

    {/let}
    {/default}
    {/cache-block}
    {/section}
</div>

hi Soler,

Use the code below

{section-exclude match=$menu.id|eq(node_id)}

where node_id is the node you want to exclude. Also replace $menu.id with the variable you using in the section loop.

This will do for you.

Sorry but I don't know how to include your code in the existing code... I haven't found any explanation in the documentation...

Can you be more precise?

Thanks a lot

well I would like to change the fetch function in order to say that I exclude the article which belongs to a specific section...

I though of something like this... (which of course doesn't work)

 fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $parent_node,
                                limit, $limit,
                                class_filter_type, exclude,
                                class_filter_array, 
                                          array( 'article/object/section_id', '=', '6' )  , 
                                        
                                sort_by, array( $sort_by, false() )  )

Any idea of what I need to change???

THanks

well I had an idea. I remove the limit from the fetch function. Then I add a condition in order to exclude the element from the section. Then I would like to limit the number of elements I display.

Here is my code:

<div class="toolbar-item {$placement}">
    {section show=or($show_subtree|count_chars()|eq(0), $requested_uri_string|begins_with( $show_subtree ))}
    {cache-block keys=$tool_id}
    {default limit=5}
    {section show=$sort_by|count|eq( 0 )}{set sort_by='published'}{/section}
    {let node_list=cond( $treelist_check|eq( 'yes' ),
                             fetch( content, tree, hash( parent_node_id, $parent_node,
                                    class_filter_type, exclude,
                                    class_filter_array,  array( 'folder' )  ,
                                        
                                    sort_by, array( $sort_by, false() ) ) ),
                         fetch( content, list, hash( parent_node_id, $parent_node,
                                class_filter_type, exclude,
                                class_filter_array, 
                                          array( 'folder' )  , 
                                        
                                sort_by, array( $sort_by, false() )  ) ) )}

    <div class="toollist">
        <div class="toollist-design">
        <h2>{$title}</h2>
        <div class="content-view-children">




        {section name=Node loop=$node_list sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}

          {if or(eq($Node:item.object.section_id,6), eq(0,$limit))}
           {else} 
                    {node_view_gui view=listitem content_node=$Node:item}
             {set limit=$limit|dec}
            {/if}

        {/section}

        </div>
        </div>

    </div>

    {/let}
    {/default}
    {/cache-block}
    {/section}
</div>

So I try to decrease the limit variable but nothing seems to happen.... But the code it self work ....Don't understand at all...
Please help me ....

Don't know if I can help, but.....
do you want to exclude everything within a certain section from your search?or is just that one class?

Hi,

I want to exclude everything from the considered section.

Just a guess here - i am not a programmer either -- did you try changing the set variable line from

{default limit=5}

to

{def $limit=5}

Hi I have found the solution so here it is:

{section name=Node loop=$node_list sequence=array(bglight,bgdark)}
{section-exclude match=$Node:item.object.section_id|eq(6)}
{node_view_gui view=listitem content_node=$Node:item}

{/section}

thanks for help
