Custom Fields in {exp:weblog:entries /}

That’s certainly not normal, can you provide a few more statistics, such as how many entries you have, how many custom fields you have, and what your limiting on? Thanks!

I’m using version 2.1.7 on EE 1.5.2, and I can’t get it working.

Here’s the page: http://208.69.123.116/site/test

Here’s the code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="articles" article_type="=Hop" limit="35"}
              <tr>
                <td width="100" align="left" valign="top" class="text"><a href="http://{title_permalink=articles/item}">/{article_thumbnail_old}</a>
{article_type}</td>
                <td align="left" valign="top" class="text">
                  <a href="http://{title_permalink=articles/item}">{title}</a>

                      <i>{article_subtitle}</i>
                    by {article_byline}

                    <div align="justify">{article_summary}</div></td>
                    </tr>


{/exp:weblog:entries}

As you can see, it should only show article_type = Hop, but instead, it’s showing all article types.

Ideas?

I’m about to give this a whirl on my 1.6 install. I’m using the repeet extension, and hoping the two can play nicely together.

I wish that the important info from this thread was contained in a WIki or a doc. I don’t look forward to flipping through 9 pages to make sure I have the right files and the right instructions.

Is the attachment in the first post of this thread the most current?

Capt’n Morgan – yes it is, I always keep the most current file up top for easy access.

supersusie did you try just article_type="Hop"? Also, case matters, so make sure your custom field actually contains “Hop” just like that.

Got, thanks Mark.

Here’s what I’m dealing with. The filter I’m using is very simple, but I’m just not sure if I’m using it correctly with the repeet calendar code.

I have a field called event_type, and I want to list just one a certain group of events. Here’s the code:

{exp:repeet:parse date_header_interval="month"}
      {repeet:date_header}%F %Y{/repeet:date_header}
      {repeet:no_results}No events are scheduled at this time.{/repeet:date_header}
      
      {exp:repeet:get_ids weblog="calendar" parse="inward" end="1 year"}
  
        {exp:weblog:entries weblog="calendar" event_type="/Commodore Club Event/"} entry_id="{repeet:entry_ids}" dynamic="off" show_expired="no" show_future_entries="yes"}
        {repeet:item}
          {repeet:entry_date}{entry_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}{/repeet:entry_date}
          {repeet:expiration_date}{expiration_date format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%i"}{/repeet:expiration_date}
          {repeet:interval}{repeat_interval}{/repeet:interval}
          {repeet:include_dates}{include_dates}{/repeet:include_dates}
          {repeet:exclude_dates}{exclude_dates}{/repeet:exclude_dates}
          {repeet:display}

Sorry for posting ALL my repeet code, I just want to make sure I have the syntax in the correct place.

a few things,

1. there shouldn’t be slashes around the event type, unless those are in your custom field? try event_type="Commodore Club Event"
2. I’m not sure if this is going to work with repeet because it defines the entry_ids which may cancel out the custom call all together.

let me know what happens when you remove those slashes.

I had tried it with and without the slashes, but no dice either way. Hmmm…..

can you try it without the repeet code around it? just isolating the weblog entries tag? to see if it’s not working within repeet.

Yep, I was working on just that. And, it’s sort of good news that it doesn’t work for me without repeet.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="calendar" event_type="Commodore Club Event" show_future_entries="yes"}

It shows everything.

If that syntax should work, I’ll go back through everything.

Now for the mod.weblog.php hack, I only added what UltraBob indicated in his instructions here. I gathered that those were a replacement for what was in the extension file, but maybe that’s where I goofed.

Capt’n Morgan – the update instructions ultrabob posted should be nearly identical to those in the extension. is there any way you could PM me a txt file of your sql output? Go to Admin » Sys Pref » Output and Debugging and turn on SQL Debugging. Then at the bottom of the page where the custom field limiter should be working (without repeet) copy and paste the sql log into a text file.

thanks.

Yep, just sent it to you.

Update: Mark was able to resolve my problem. It was a combination of STUPID things on my part. <slapping my own self in the back of the head!>

Great news, it works with repeet!!

I really wish there was a way to have this extension work with Relative custom fields. Can’t think of how that would work though. If anyone has a thought that would be rad.

@jez777 I’m afraid I’m not sure what you mean by “Relative custom fields.”
