Hi, it’s me again!

My client requires that I allow a user to search for specific weblog entries that have a custom FF Radio Group field checked. For example, I have a “profile” weblog, and I would only like profiles with the “winner”, “longlisted”, and “shortlisted” radio buttons selected to be shown in the results. Is this at all possible? I’ve had a look at the documentation and I can’t see any way of doing this unless I have blatently missed it.

Thanks in advance for your support, as always.

You could try using Solspace’s Super Search

Liam,

Are you using a third-party custom field for the radio buttons?

You could use a conditional in your search results. Add the name of yoru own custom field. May need more work if you are using a third party custom field.

{exp:search:search_results switch="resultRowOne|resultRowTwo"}

{if my_radio_button_field == "winner" OR my_radio_button_field == "longlisted" OR my_radio_button_field == "shortlisted"}

<a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a>

{/if}

{/exp:search:search_results}

Hi John,

Sorry, this is a lot more complicated than my post has let on. I will give you a more thorough idea of what I am looking to do. I have a profile weblog that contains all the users details.

These users can submit application forms with the use of a SAEF, which will be stored in the applications weblog. Inside this applications weblog, I have a relationship field which assigns a profile to an application.

It is inside the application where the radio buttons are contained (an example, a judge views an application for Joe Bloggs and sets this application to “longlisted”).

What I essentially need to do is filter out all the profiles that have not been set to a number of status’. So if I apply for an application and the judge is yet to view this application, my profile should not appear in the search results. My idea of this is that I would somehow have to intertwine search results with a reverse related entry tag, and as my knowledge of the search module is limited I am at a complete loss if this is even possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience of my original post. Yesterday was a very long day!

Liam, as this is a How-to question with multiple approaches it’s best suited for the CodeShare Corner. Going ahead and moving over there to get you more input. Thanks.
