[request] Advanced XThreads Prefix Filter

[Jumper]

i use XThreads prefix system, and we have more than only one prefix in one line.

before the subject we have 3 prefixes, one for "category" and one for "quality" and one for "language". every prefix is sortable. but you can only sort by one prefix. is it possible to create a menue with a triple dropdown-menu where you can select individually the Values List from all 3 prefixes, and the results are only Posts where the selected Values match?

Example:

prefix 1
values: value1, value2, value3, value4, value5
prefix 2
values: example1, example2, example3, example4, example5
prefix 3
values: test1, test2, test3, test4, test5

now i need a triple dropdown-menue, where you can select the values from prefix 1, prefix 2 and prefix 3, and for example: if you select the values "value2" & "example1" & "test4", and click on a search-button, results should only be displayed entries where this 3 values match.

possible?

Yes. I do exactly this on leefish. I have three prefixes set up.

I will get the template for it.

Ooohh leefish, you are my hero

i use your code in additional forumdisplay template. was better for me than using searchforum inline.
language prefix will be added next week. all works perfect BIG Thanks

   

[Jumper]

one question:

i have add one prefix for the language (pref_lang). values are:
1.german
2.english
3.german & english
4.other

but if somebody select "german & english"-filter, the single languages "german" and "english" are not included. i know, that´s normaly correct. but is there any solution, that if you select "german & english", that the other 2 values are included in the search-result?

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

You can filter on multiple values for a single field, but I don't really know of a way like you described above.

[ezeql]

Is there any way for dynamically generate the list for all available values for a certain thread field?

Thanks

Unfortunately there isn't.

first of all, thank for the code.

I have 2 problems

problem_1) i can't receive any data if one or two or three of the options set to "All"

problem_2) i really like the automatic way on your site http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/forumdisplay....http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/forumdisplay.php?filtertf_prefix=&filtertf_pfcat=&search=&fid=7&sortby=lastpost&order=desc
the filter is valid before the user push any button....
