Hi,

I have a simple search searching about 20 channels.  On the search results page, I need to handle groups of information differently.  I need to sort out the results by weblog/channel name (short_name).

Specifically, I’m trying to do this:

Say if weblog name contains “news”—>  do this.
if weblog name contains “blog”—>  do this.
if weblog name contains “events”—> do this.

there are about 8 - 10 weblog/channels that fit each group above.  It is very painful, and I’m not sure about performance, to write out if statements for each separate channel options.

When I use the conditionals {if weblog_short_name = "blog"} or whatever, it doesn’t work.  Seems that conditionals in that case only take exact matches.

Any suggestions?  Am I missing a method somewhere or conditionals that I don’t know about?

thanks for any help!

Say if weblog name contains “news”—>  do this.

Does that mean you have weblogs like news_foo, news_bar etc.?

When I use the conditionals {if weblog_short_name = "blog"} or whatever, it doesn’t work.  Seems that conditionals in that case only take exact matches.

Yes, that’s correct. I am afraid there is no “contains” parameter. You would probably have to use PHP with regular expressions for that.
