Hi Paul

I'm after something like this
http://www.graduateopportunities.com/employers.php?id=D

In the admin section I want to have a single folder of contacts. In the user section I want to be able to display a "A....Z" navigation bar that when clicked on displays those contacts starting with the letter clicked.

The google navigator is used in the admin section to paginate child objects. This is great for browsing to a object but it can take several clicks to find the right page (and object).

In some cases it would be easier to be able to be able to alpha-page through these types of pages.

Cheers
Bruce

Don't forget to add the class_filter too before specifying attribute ids

Hi there,

I'm looking to implement this for the contacts folder on the Ez Intranet.

Before I start coding, I don't suppose any one has already created the form/fetch combination you need for this?

Thanks, Steve.

Since eZ publish 3.6, the fetch functions content/list, content/list_count, content/tree
and content/tree_count have been given extra filter functionality.

Maybe you can use the "like" filter operation:

{set list_items=fetch( content, list, hash(
    parent_node_id, $node.node_id,
    offset, $view_parameters.offset,
    sort_by, $node.sort_array,                                                                                                       
    attribute_filter, array( 
        'or',
        array( 'person/last_name' 'like', 'a%' ) 
        ),
    limit, $page_limit
    )
)}

Can you paste the code you used with the "like" filter operation? Maybe there was an error in it.

Hi Kristof,

Sorry, still no joy I'm afraid... I've got:

                {set list_items=fetch_alias( children, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id,                                                             offset, $view_parameters.offset,                                                             sort_by, $node.sort_array,
'attribute_filter', array( 'or', array( 'person/last_name' 'like', 'a*' ) ),			
limit, $page_limit ) )}

but it doesnt return any results - it should return one. I tried the 'a*' as an 'A*' in case it was a caps issue.

How does the configuration of your fetch alias looks like? You can find it in fetchalias.ini, under the group [children]. By default, it doesn't support the <i>attribute_filter</i> parameter, so you will need to change it, or make your own alias.

[filtered_children]
Module=content
FunctionName=list
Parameter[sort_by]=sort_by
Parameter[parent_node_id]=parent_node_id
Parameter[offset]=offset
Parameter[limit]=limit
Parameter[attribute_filter]=attribute_filter

I never use <i>fetch_alias</i> myself. For the particular things you are trying to do, I don't think it has any added value and you can use <i>fetch</i> instead.

Indeed it needs the ',', I must have looked over that.

There's a problem with your attribute filter. The correct code is:

{set list_items=fetch_alias( children, hash(
        parent_node_id, $node.node_id,                                                  
        offset, $view_parameters.offset,
        attribute_filter, array(
            'and',
            $time_filter,
            array( 'person/last_name', 'like', 'a*'  )
            ),
        sort_by, $node.sort_array,
        limit, $page_limit
        )
    )}

Hi,

Kristof, your code worked :), though I had to remove the ' $time_filter,' to get it to work.

{set list_items=fetch_alias( children, hash(
        parent_node_id, $node.node_id,                                                  
        offset, $view_parameters.offset,
        attribute_filter, array(
            'and',
            array( 'person/last_name', 'like', $filter  )
            ),
        sort_by, $node.sort_array,
        limit, $page_limit
        )
    )}

The only issue I now have is I have to clear the cache every time the sorting value is changed, other wise the value of $filter doesnt change.

I'm going to post that in a seperate thread as its a slightly different subject - once I get it all working I'll post back the complete folder template code here.

Thanks for all the help!

Steve.

Hi,

OK, here is the final code I have in the template to be used as a folder override for a contacts area:

{* Alpha Paginated Contact Folder - Full view *}
{set-block scope=root variable=cache_ttl}0{/set-block}
{let filter=first_set(ezhttp('filter',get),"all")}
{let ffilter=concat($filter,'*')}
 {switch match=$filter}
    {case match="all"}
 	  {set ffilter="*"}
    {/case}
    {case/}
    {/switch}
<div class="content-view-full">
    <div class="class-folder">

{*Shows all attributes of current node }

{let node=fetch(content, list, hash(limit, 6, parent_node_id, 2, depth, 3, sort_by,array(published,false()), class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(article)) )}
{$node|attribute(show) *}

            'and',

    )}
															 
                {set list_count=fetch_alias( children_count, hash( parent_node_id, $node.node_id ) )}
            

            <div class="content-view-children">

            {include name=navigator
                     uri='design:navigator/google.tpl'

            {/let}

        {/section}
        {/section}

    </div>
</div>
{/let}
{/let}

I havent tested this extensively, but it seems to be working fine.

Once again, thanks for the help on this.

Regards, Steve.
