Attribute filter on ezobjectrelation solution??? (ez systems crew???)

Hi,

As I understand it (I tested) attribute filter does not work on the ezobjectrelation datatype in the current release of ezpublish.

So I executed the following sql script:

UPDATE ezcontentobject_attribute SET sort_key_int=data_int WHERE contentclassattribute IN (187)

Where 187 is the id of the ezobjectrelation contentclassattribute that I need to be able to do an attribute filter on. I had to execute this manually because adding 'ezobjectrelation' to the appropriate array in updateattributefilter.php didn't do anything for some reason (anyone know why?)

Now I can do an attribute filter on that ezobjectrelation filter. In order to have the sort_key_int updated when a *new* attribute is added do I add the following code:?

ezobjectrelationtype.php:

function sortKey($contentObjectAttribute) {
return $contentObjectAttribute->attribute('data_int');
}

function sortKeyType() {
return 'int';
}

Will this have the intended effect? Also, might this have any adverse side affects anywhere else in ezpublish? I havn't seen any as yet, I just thought that the solution was so simple, and since ez systems hasn't added it it may be because a much more complex solution is required.

Anyone in the ez systems crew want to comment on this (I doubt anyone else will know).

Regards,
Willie
