I have to perform a Node tree fetch excluding a specified subtree starting
from a known node.
There exists an option in tree fetching to exclude a branch of the fetched tree
(or a site section) or do have I to perform two fetches and after perform an array remove between the two results? Thanks in advance for answers.

Hi Roberto,

Yes, you can do this by creating right array with node_ids from two fetch results. Then using sections and node fetching view data.

Thanks Lukasz,
I solved my problem in a not very clean way, performing a complete subtree fetch
and excluding the visualization of unwanted nodes during the loop section.

I tried to remove elements before the loop using <i>merge</i> and after <i>unique</i> array operators, but it seems that doesn't work.
I don't know if it's because elements of the array are complex objects
and not simple datatype values.

I think adding a node filtering option to the fetch parameters (like <b>node_filter_type</b>(include/exclude) and <b>node_filter_array</b>)
in future releases, could be very useful .

Hi Roberto,

Good suggestion, I'll have a look at it since I need it here too.

Hi Roberto,

It`s good to see that you solved your problem.

fetch parameters (like node_filter_type(include/exclude) 
and node_filter_array) in future releases, could be very useful

Could you add this as your suggestion?

Thank you.

couldn't find it in doc or maybe i was just blind.
