Nicolas OTTAVI	Monday 05 July 2010 8:06:00 am Hi, Is it possible to exclude some classes from the results "on the fly", I mean when the query is made. I have seen a RawFilterList[] in ezfind.ini that could help, but I can not really understand how to use it, and if it make it possible to exclude more than one class. By the way, the perfect option would be to have a "include" filtering instead of "exclude" ... a little bit like we can do with fetch('content','list\|tree' ...) Thx for your help, Nico 0
Paul Borgermans	Monday 05 July 2010 10:36:58 am Hi "include filtering" is available through the class_id fetch function parameter which takes also arrays exclude filtering is possible by using a dedicated filter and using the same expression as used in the "hardcoded' ezfind.ini example {def $results=fetch(ezfind, search, hash('q', ':', limit, 10, filter, array('meta_class_identifier_s:[* TO *] -meta_class_identifier_s:folder')))} hth Paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
Nicolas OTTAVI	Monday 05 July 2010 1:34:49 pm Thanks Paul, After posting the question I made a test, and found out that 'filter', array( '-meta_class_identifier_s:(class_to_exclude)') was working ..; I did not used the meta_class_identifier_s:[* TO *] Regards, Nico O
Paul Borgermans	Monday 05 July 2010 1:55:16 pm That works too in general: as long as a pure negative query is not the only filter query. Safest bet (with the current version of Solr) is to use the [* TO *] expression along the negative query. The next version of solr will allow it in all cases.

tofik sahraoui	Sunday 03 July 2011 1:48:34 pm By the way, there is a typo on the example that comes with the ezfind.ini file. The example that shows how to exclude certain classes from apearing on the searchresult list is missing a 'm' it should be like this: RawFilterList[]=meta_class_identifier_s:[* TO ] -meta_class_identifier_s:(folder article) should be this instead: RawFilterList[]=meta_class_identifier_ms:[ TO *] -meta_class_identifier_ms:(folder article)
