Some questions about JL Content Filter

Hi,

First of all: I'm quite happy with JL Content Filter. But... customers keep asking for new features and I always look for ways to accomplish them. So here are a few questions:

1. Would it be possible to set a fixed selection for a specific custom field? Like this: if I have a blog page for a specific category, I would like to set up the module to show only those articles within this category that have value x in custom field y. We would like to combine this preset selection with further, manual selections in the module by the end user.

2. Our data structure is such that we want our blog view to show articles from more than one category, all categories being child elements of the same parent category. We would like to use JL Content Filter for filtering on custom fields and we would like to combine this filtering with filtering on the child category. There are ways to do this but it would be most convenient for the end user if this could be done using the same interface / the same module. If I had know beforehand that this question would come up, I might have created a different content structure; unfortunately I cannot change it anymore now.

3. Just a question for easier management: in the “Show in category” parameter of the module I can select one or more categories in which the module should be active. Would it also be possible to select the parent category and automatically include all child categories?

I hope that you can help me,

Kind regards, Frits

Hi,

Just a little bump. Would it be possible to help me with my first question: setting a fixed selection for one custom field and being able to combine this with the other selections? Maybe using an override?

Kind regards

Update:

I tried to accomplish setting fixed value (my question #1) this way:

- I created a custom javascript that sets the value of one of my select lists, and
- I used css to hide this list and it's label

My javascript does set the value, however this does not trigger the ajax search again. Would there be a way to do that?


Kind regards, Frits

Update: I found a workaround for my question #1 and I abandoned the idea of using JavaScript. This workaround has no relation to the JL Content Filter either. It is based on the Joomla usergroup access to the articles. I won't elaborate too much on it, because this site contains some custom scripting and setting the access is linked to the scripting. But anyway, #1 this is solved now.

Still, if someone would have suggestions for #2 I would appreciate that.

And maybe #3 could be a nice new feature for the backend interface of the JL Content Filter module?

    • For cervical spondylosis, taking chinese medicinal drug orally can achieve normal inner and external treatment. If it is a symptom of blockage and ache, we will deal with the outside attack of wind, cold and dampness or blood stasis with the aid of warming and dredging the meridians, activating blood movement and getting rid of blood stasis, or dispelling wind and dampness. If it's far a sickness of disgrace and ache, then the qi and blood of the internal organs must be improved, and the treatment must be to replenish the liver and kidneys, support the muscle tissue and bones, or nourish qi and blood.

    • One crisp autumn afternoon, while playing near the house, Emma noticed something shiny half-buried in the dirt. She dug it up and found an old, ornate key with intricate designs. Excited, she wondered what it might open. With the key clutched tightly in her hand, she approached the old house. The door creaked open with surprising ease, and Emma stepped inside. The interior was just as dusty as the outside, but it had an air of mystery. She wandered through the rooms, discovering old furniture and forgotten toys. Each room told a story of a family that had once lived there long ago. As she explored, Emma came upon a small, locked chest in the corner of one room. Her heart raced as she inserted the key into the lock. With a satisfying click, the chest opened to reveal a collection of old photographs, letters, and a beautiful, hand-carved wooden box. Inside the wooden box was a small locket. When Emma opened it, she saw a picture of a young girl who looked strikingly similar to herself. Beside the locket was a letter addressed to "The Finder of the Key." The letter explained that the house had belonged to a family who had to leave quickly many years ago, leaving behind their cherished belongings. The letter's writer was the young girl’s great-grandparent, and the locket was a family heirloom meant to be passed down. Emma's heart swelled with joy as she realized that she had discovered a piece of her own history. She decided to bring the locket and the other treasures to her parents. They were amazed and touched by the find, and they decided to restore the old house, making it a special place to remember their family’s history. From that day on, the house was no longer forgotten. It became a cherished part of the town, where Emma and her family would often visit, sharing stories of the past and making new memories. And so, the little girl with the curious heart had not only uncovered a hidden treasure but had also brought new life to a piece of history, all with a simple, forgotten key.
