Hello All!

there must be an easier way of doing this but we are looking to have very specific results displayed and rather than go through all the weblog entries. would it be easier to just “selectively filter” these results here?

I’m fairly certain that this will throw off the total number of results.

What I’m wondering if there is a more elegant way of doing this…

{exp:search:search_results}
{if entry_id == '123' || entry_id == '456' || entry_id == '789'}
    {!-- do nothing --}
{if:else}
{!-- continue with page rendering search results --}
    <h6>{weblog}</h6>
<p>    <div id="excerpt"><li>{excerpt}</a></li></div><br />
    <br />
{/if}<br />
{/exp:search:search_results}

What are the criteria to show/not show a given entry? Can you flag them somehow, and then do:

{exp:search:search_results}
{if flagged}
  do nothing
{if:else}
  show results
{/if}
............

Hi Lavi,

I know that going through each of your weblog entries might be a bit of a pain but surely if you are having to find out their entry_id to do this sort of thing then you are already sort of going through them all anyway aren’t you?

Would it not be possible to make use of a different status to only bring back entries with certain statuses and leave out the others? The search form allows for this.

Don’t know if that helps at all.

Best wishes,

Mark

I think it would be handy to enter the id’s into an array, maybe set up a table in the DB…

What’s needed is to filter based on whether or not the entry appears in the pnm (pages nested menu)

I have no clue how to add that filter to the search results... I imagine it would take some solid sql kung fu.
