I know how to successfully use arguments in drupal's views module, but when it "filters" based on those arguments it uses "=" in the where clause of the SQL statement. However, I would like to use "like" instead of "=" in the where clause of the SQL statement so I can pass in, say the title of a node, as an argument and then show all nodes that CONTAIN the title passed in. I am not interested in grabbing only the nodes where the title is exactly the same as the title passed in. Does anyone know how I can do this? Is this possible?
one possible solution would be to generate the view by code with your required query.
I am looking for the same solution. It looks like you can modify the query using the views_views_pre_execute hook. The link below has a pretty good explanation. Haven't tried it yet but giving it a shot now...
http://drupal.org/node/409808
You could export the view, which outputs the views-generated query as code, then modify the query to suit your needs, and load it programatically (http://www.chilipepperdesign.com/2010/01/15/how-to-programmatically-create-views-in-drupal-6)
In drupal 7 you can use views query alter to generate your custom querys:
Take a look at this example: https://gist.github.com/4001074
I don't think you can do this. See here (https://www.drupal.org/node/1578564):
There are no options for selecting which operator should be used with contextual filters (save the exclude option). All default to is equal to.

I use azure search and have some document with a field like this {"Nr": "123.334.93"}.
If i search for querytype=full&search=123.334.93 then it found multiple document and if I search for querytype=full&search="123.334.93" then it found one document. This is as expected.
But if I search for querytype=full&search=123.334.9* I expect multiple document starting with 123.334.9 but none result are given back.
Do I miss somthing?
The same is when I use a regex expression like this querytype=full&search=/123\.334\.9.*/
Your query looks correct to me and should work.
A couple of things you might look into.
1) Sometimes you need to escape the * like this:
querytype=full&search=123.334.9\*
Usually, this is only necessary if you have more search terms after the *.
2) You can also narrow the fields searched down to only the field you need (for better efficiency) like this:
querytype=full&search=Nr:123.334.9\*
Hope this helps.
Based on the Comment from Yahnoosh.
The analyzer of the field was set to "de.microsoft". I change that to "standard.lucene", recreate and fill the index and it works as expected.
It seems that I have to be more carefully to set the analyzer and only use specific ones for fields with language specific content.
Thanks for your help.
I want to enable the use of codes inside of content on a Drupal website. For example, when creating a block or a node, i want users to be able to insert code like this:
[[EMAIL]]
Depending on what the current language is, it might display a different value. The tricky part is not retrieving the value I want to replace it with, but figuring out at what point I replace it?
What hook or function would I use, to replace any node content that has the specific code in it, with another value? And the same for a block or any other content that is going to be displayed?
I solved this by creating my own input filter. I copied this example.
I'm quite stuck on an unexpected problem. I'm trying to use Wayfinder to generate a sitemap for a project. The output of the navigation items is as expected, but I need to include a number of documents in addition to the primary navigation elements.
To do this, I have used the includeDocs parameter.
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &includeDocs=`17,18,19,20`]]
When I do this, I get no output at all. Remove includeDocs and I get the standard nav (expected). Use the param and the output is completely empty.
No idea what I'm doing wrong or what (if any) other setting must be defined in order to make this work.
The includeDocs parameter is very misleading. It should rather be named "onlyIncudeDocs" or "restrictTo", since that is what it does. It also requires the docs you include to be directly accessable from your startId, alternatively have the entire path "included".
I would suggest you create weblink resources directly under your startId, and link them to the resources you want to include. That way wayfinder will pick them up by default. (Note that you may need to handle this in your rowTpl for wayfinder, since a weblink stores the actual link in it's content field)
If you also want to include the children of the id's you specify, you would probably be better of slightly revising your resource structure.
Currently, we're running revolution 2.2. On site_content, we have some tags that are ran for crawling twitter. I want to start tracking the number of results for each tag as results come in, to determine which tags don't return that many results, etc.
So I was thinking that I should create a new table (twitter_data), and have a foreign key that will link it to the search tag ID, which is stored in site_content.
What is the best path to accomplish this? Should I create my table then run the reverse schema tool, outlined here?
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Reverse+Engineer+xPDO+Classes+from+Existing+Database+Table#ReverseEngineerxPDOClassesfromExistingDatabaseTable-CreatingaMySQLtable
I also found this, but not sure if this is what I should be looking into:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Using+Custom+Database+Tables+in+your+3rd+Party+Components
Probably not - if you can avoid modifying the core modx schema do so. an external table may be your best option, but requires a fair bit of work.
though if you can explain wht you mean by 'tags' a little better [html tags? snippets? content tags? not sure what you mean] there may be other options. for example. one of our clients wanted to count page hits [and didn't want to use google to do it] so all we did was to create a template variable bound to each page they wanted to count and then updated that appropriate variable by writing plugin to fire on the onpageload or onpagerender event. [I don't ermember exactly which or what it was called]
Basically, you may be able to do this by writng a plugin rather than trying to extend anything or add snippets/chunks.
I would like to know if it is possible to use kentico macros (not necessarily coding a custom one) to access part of the rewritten URL's Path.
Example: http://www.mysite.com/Category/Subcategory/
I would like to get the last part (Subcategory) so that I may then filter content dynamically. The reason I want to use the macro is to simply not have to have 20+ different page templates only so I can have different web part properties.
Assuming you are using Portal templates, and you don't want an 'all items in all subcategories' list on the parent:
Create an Article List web part on the parent page — parent to all the sub-categories.
Set the web part Path to /{0}/{1}/{2}/% (if your path was /Home/Parent/Subcategory for example) or something similar for your environment.
Use the default setting of Inherit for the page template for all subcategory pages.
This will not show anything on the parent page, and the sub-categories will show only the documents under themselves. Note: If you want the subcategory items to have their own views when user digs down to /{0}/{1}/{2}/item, you may need to filter by changing template inheritance, or Document Types on the web part, or something like that if you don't want the whole sub-category list to also show on the item-specific pages.
You can create a custom macro or, you can also use the string operations which are allowed within macros. Please see http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/6_0/devguide/available_macro_methods.htm#string_methods (and you can e.g. use the EndsWith or TrimStrart or something similar).
However, I think the best way would be to create a custom macro which will exactly fit. There might be some combination of macros and macro functions - but I think it is faster just to code a custom one which will cover your need 100%.
Also, you can take a look on the K# if there is something that will fit - http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/6_0/devguide/ksharp_syntax.htm
