Claudia Kosny	Thursday 07 December 2006 8:44:00 am Hi there How can I create an OR condition in the $cond argument of the eZPersistentObject::fetchObject function? The end result should be something like SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE column_a = 5 OR column_b = 10 . Thanks Claudia
Kristof Coomans	Thursday 07 December 2006 11:09:54 pm Hi Claudia You will see how the parameter $conds is converted to SQL conditions in eZPersistentObject::conditionTextByRow, but you probably found that yourself ;-) But it doesn't support OR that way. You'll have to use the last parameter, $custom_conds, which has to be a string of SQL conditions ready to be inserted inside the full SQL query. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Claudia Kosny	Friday 08 December 2006 12:24:54 am Hi Kristof The last parameter in my version (ez 3.8.4) is $custom_fields which allows for operations on fields (like count or sum). I don't see a way to use this for an OR condition. Could you give me an example for what you mean? Thanks Claudia
Kristof Coomans	Friday 08 December 2006 12:37:29 am Hi Claudia It seems like this parameter was added on the trunk (it will be in 3.9), but only to the fetchObjectList function. Because fetchObject calls fetchObjectList, the parameter can be easily added to fetchObject too. Maybe you can post an enhancement request for this? independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Claudia Kosny	Friday 08 December 2006 2:13:52 am Hi Kristof Thanks for the answer. I suppose I will just add the option to add custom SQL to my copy of eZPersistentObject::fetchObjectList and eZPersistentObject::fetchObject. As the parameters are optional this should not have any negative effect on any code that makes use of these functions. Enhancement request is posted http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=9767 Claudia
