Hi,
just for confirmation, please. I want to display selected data in relation with the content (“choosed content” = one ore more words) of a custom field (“my_custom_field”)

Is this regular :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" my_custom_field="choosed content" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="5"}
{title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

or is-it necessary to set condition :

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog"  orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="5"}
     {if my_custom_field="choosed_content"}
         {title}
     {/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

thank you for help because both seem to be correct but as I tried, none worked.

Hi Abdellah,

You should certainly check out the search parameter.

Yo use it like this if the field should contain the value you’re looking for:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" search:my_custom_field="choosed content" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="5"}
{title}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

If the custom field should be an exact match for your search, it should look like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" search:my_custom_field="=choosed content" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="5"}

Yes it is… it modifies the SQL query that returns the entries you’re looking for, so it’s as fast as your database can handle.
