Hi to all.

This message has been sent specially to the ez crew but if somebody can answer to me it is well.

In this days I have been developing a web site in which I need the user can make searches in certain attributes of objects of a class, and after studying the search operator I have verified which it does not finish serving me for which I look for (since she does not make search like which they are possible to be obtained with operator LIKE of any SQL database), then I have looked for the way to use LIKE with fetch('content', 'list',hash(attribute_filter(array(...,'like',...)))..) and have seen two links which comment as operator LIKE can be used:
http://www.ez.no/bugs/view/2900 and http://www.ez.no/bugs/view/3865

So as the links explain, the only think somebody need to do is to hack the source code of kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php and to add a pair of lines, the something that I have proven and IT WORKS!!!.

Then my question is: Why this option can't be added to the official code of eZPublish?
This can make problems?

Greetings (and thanks in advance)

Pablo,

Amos checked in my patch + some improvements into the trunk: like, not_like, in, not_in, between and not_between are now added as attribute filter operators. Additionally, you can also filter on the owner which should be provided as its corresponding object id.

I'll provide a patch for 3.4-stable and 3.5-stable branches after the weekend and write a doc about how to use them.

Really really thanks Paul... but I found the reason the people don't use fetch to "extended searches"... the reason is that fetch can not filter xmltext attributes (and I think textfield too).

These features are now standard in 3.6
