T. Payton, do you have error reporting enabled and display_errors “On” in the PHP environment?  Sounds like a syntax error that may have occurred when modifying the file.

I apologize for the hastely written post. I was fixing code with one hand and typing with the other. I was able to use the EE search parameter to fix the site and get it up.

Concerning my question, I was curious if this extension is working with 1.6.3.

Cool, glad to hear it. The search parameter is the bomb. I can’t speak to the extension working with 1.6.3, as I’ve never had occasion to use it. As far as I know, the only thing you might need it for is > and < (greater than/less than) comparisons.

Yeah, @tpayton, Ryan is correct. I don’t believe it works in 1.6.3 mainly because EE’s absorbed just about all the functionality into native features now. The only thing missing is the grater than and less than comparisons, which can probably just be done with SQL queries when needed.

and unfortunately, this extension doesn’t work with 1.6.3

Qrat - you don’t really NEED this extension to work with 1.6.3, is sort of the point of the last couple posts. Why can’t you just use the built in weblog:entries “search” parameter? The greater/less thans can be done with the Query module.

Hi Mark, all,

It seems like functionality breaks when using

in your exp:weblog:entries tag.

Can anybody confirm this?  I’m trying to use this extension to filter various types of recorded messages, all of which are expired entries.  I’m working around it by removing the end date on the entries, but if this is something that is worthy of a fix it would be terrific.

Many thanks for all of your contributions, Mark – wow!

Again, you don’t really need this extension anymore. Why can’t you just use the built-in “search” parameter for weblog:entries tags? Unless I’m missing what you’re trying to search for.

Thanks Ryan.  I’m actually locked into a 1.5.2 install, which is why I’m using this at all.  I went ahead and used categories as a workaround today, so it’s not a critical thing (Mark, if you’re reading this – no need to reply).

Thanks for your input, though!

Any way I could use this extension to do a limit on a field sort?

In other words, I’ve got a custom field that has employees’ last names in it. I’d like to create a link that is like “Employees A - G” and have it bring up all the entries, ordered by that last name field, but have it stop at last names that start with ‘G’.

I just wanted to add another “THANK YOU” to the long list here -

I just made a tiny single tag plugin that took a value from a weblog and required this exact function to match up with weblog entries. Worked great on the first try.

I think you cut like 12 hours out of my project. Thanks again.

Hi Mark,

I have always found you to create the best extensions that meet my needs ....

  This seems a nice one too…does this work if the custom field is of date type ?

if yes ? HOW?

OOPS !

I am using EE 1.6.7
