Nothing displayed filtering with Custom Fields

p>{articles category="Skills" skill-category:text="Horsemanship"}[link][title][/link]{/articles}</p>
This is the code I'm using. Now "skill-category" is an artcles field.

You cannot filter on the text output of a field.

Yes, that refers to the text value of the option as it is saved in the database for that custom field.
Articles Field works differently, as the available articles in the select list are rendered dynamically. So there is no simple id => text list of options attached to the field in the parameters.
This means, Articles Anywhere cannot do a database query looking for that text.

So there is no way to filter out by what that field has?
Peter van Westen's Avatar Peter van Westen ADMIN
Try with the id of the article, instead of the title.

Yes, you can use the article IDs (which is what is saved in the database for Articles Field)

Meaning, for example:
{articles category="Skills" skill-category="92"}[link][title][/link]{/articles}

You know Andrea, I swear I tried that before I started this thread and it didn't work. NOW, it works.

Is there a way to exclude the current article in that list?
Vinny Hebert's Avatar Vinny Hebert
I've tried this but not sure why the current article is still showing.
<p>{articles category="Skills" skill-category="27 && !this:id"}[link][title][/link]{/articles}</p>

I've tried this too
<p>{articles category="Skills" skill-category="27 && !current"}[link][title][/link]{/articles}</p>

I'm not sure what you're trying to do.

If "skill-category" is an article, and you're already specifying the exact article ID that you want (27), why do you need to exclude the current article? You're already saying "only article 27".

So I'm trying to list all the articles that have the skill-category of 27 but NOT the current article (which also would have the skill-category of 27.
Andrea Malalana's Avatar Andrea Malalana
Oh, that's different than.

This should do what you need 🙂
{articles category="Skills" skill-category="27 articles="!current"}
Vinny Hebert's Avatar Vinny Hebert
Yep, that makes sense. However I'm not getting the correct reults.
<p>{articles category="Skills" skill-category="27" articles="!current"}<div class="uk-width-1-3">[link][title][/link]</div>{/articles}</p>

The first one listed should be elimitated

Can you give me (super) admin and (s)ftp access so I can take a look?

I didn't say 'Herbert', I said 'Vinny'... really...! ?
