Kristof Coomans	Sunday 27 August 2006 11:19:34 am Hello Brendan Info on filtering attributes of the selection datatype (single select only): http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/filter_content_passing_values_from_url independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Brendan Pike	Sunday 27 August 2006 8:48:39 pm Thanks Kristof, that thread was very informative. After reading that thread I realised I am trying to filter a "ebhanced selection" datatype. I was hoping to avoid the complexity of the extended_attribute_filter but its starting to feel that's the only way. Perhaps I shouldn't be reaching for the "enhanced selector" quite so often after all. Can you give me your opinion on how to filter on: A. Enhanced Selectors B. Node locations, (inspect locations and filter out certain nodes) Achieving this with section-excludes within a loop is relatively easy but I thought it was a slow method since your fetching larger volumes of objects. Thanks for any tips. www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.
Kristof Coomans	Monday 28 August 2006 1:43:36 am With the enhanced selection datatype, you can just use the identifier of your option as the filter value. Again this only works for a single selection. independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
