Some questions about JL Content Filter was created by F. Jongbloets
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?

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?

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?

- In a small, sleepy town, there was an old house with a garden that had been locked up for decades. The garden was surrounded by a tall, ivy-covered wall, and no one had seen inside for as long as anyone could remember. One day, a curious boy named Sam moved into the house with his family. As he explored the property, he noticed a rusty, old key lying under a bush. Sam picked it up, wondering what it might unlock. After searching the house and finding nothing, Sam decided to try the key on the garden gate. To his surprise, the key fit perfectly. With a turn of the key and a creak of the hinges, the gate slowly swung open. Inside the garden, Sam was greeted by a sight of wonder. The garden was overgrown but full of vibrant flowers, exotic plants, and a small, sparkling pond. In the middle of the garden stood a beautiful stone statue of a unicorn. As Sam explored further, he discovered a small plaque next to the statue. It read: "To whoever finds this garden, may you always find joy in the beauty of nature and the magic of discovery." Sam spent hours in the garden, exploring every corner and marveling at the hidden beauty. The garden seemed to have a magical quality that made Sam feel at peace and incredibly happy. From that day on, Sam made it a habit to visit the garden every day, taking care of it and sharing its beauty with his friends and family. The once-forgotten garden became a place of joy and wonder for everyone who visited. And so, Sam learned that sometimes, the greatest treasures are not just the secrets we uncover but the beauty and joy we find in them.
