Thread

I’ve inherited an ExpressionEngine/CartThrob project.

I came across the following code snippet and have been unable to find documentation that explains the pool and filters arguments.

{exp:query pool="{include_categories}" filters="{exclude_categories}" limit="9"}

Can you someone point me in the right direction?

What I specifically want to do is filter the query by status=“open” but simply inserting that into the expression didn’t change the resultset.

That’s a line of custom code that, unless specifically documented by the developer, won’t specifically be found in the EE docs.

The query tag needs a SQL statement, which is what I assume the {include_categories} is.  That could either be a Snippet or Global Variable, so that’s where I’d check first.

Looking at the docs for the query module:
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/query/index.html

Neither the pool or filters parameters are native - so I’m not sure what’s going on there or if Carthrob is adding those somehow.

Any way to contact the original dev?

Thanks Boyink!

Sure enough I went to the Query Module and found some custom code.

Thanks!
