Fetching different classes with common attribute: still impossible in ez 3.50?

Monday 24 January 2005 1:22:55 am

hi all,
i saw it was quite impossible to fetch objects of different classes filtering by two different attributes, one of the first class, the other of the second class.

for example:
class article -> attribute: date;
class interview -> attribute: date;
(both the date attributes are not the publish date.)

i'd like to fetch all the articles and interviews filtering them by the date attribute.

now with 3.50 is it possible?

thanx in advance

Hi,
Is it still impossible to fetch objects of different classes with attribute_filter, in Exponential 3.6 ?

Something like:

fetch( 'content', 
       'list', 
       hash( 'parent_node_id',   42, 
          'attribute_filter', array( 'and',
                 array( 'folder/show_in_menu', '=', '1' ), 
                 array( 'article/show_in_menu', '=', '1' ) ) )

If not, it's always possible to fetch every folders & articles, and then add a condition like

<section show=is_set($node.data_map.show_in_menu)>
<section show=$node.data_map.show_in_menu|eq(1)>...display...</section>
</section>

But it will fetch everything, it's not optimised...
