List Filter issue with Multiselect Fields

13 years 8 months ago #137089 by JoomIM
Hi,

I am developing a Services Directory where one individual (a service provider) may promote multiple services in one or more geographical regions.

If the individual (service provider) only selects ONE region, the filter works fine. ie: user1 operates in region1, then they appear under the list for region1

However, as soon as a user selects MORE THAN ONE region, ie: user1 operates in region1 and region2,
they no longer appear in lists for either region1 or region2.

I am currently using a list filter where 'cb_region' ='region1'.


I have tried to select 'cb_region' LIKE'%region1%' and this DOES work, but the result displays a list that includes other users where the region name is similar, ie: 'cb_region' LIKE'%city west%' also lists anyone who is in other regions such as city south west, city north west, etc.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

This is my first project with CB, and have been faced with a steep but ENJOYABLE learning curve :)

Filters are direct additions to the query, a multi-select of any type is stored as follows within the database.

value1|*|value2|*|value3, etc...

This means you'll need to use a LIKE attribute with wildcards such as the following.

`cb_myfield` LIKE '%value2%'

However, wildcards means similar results will display for example if you use '%value1%' then value10, value11, etc.. would show.

More on MYSQL and query functions/usages can be found here .

Well you didn't provide the field type, the fields values, nor an example from your database as to how the field is stored. Without that no one can help you, we don't know how your field is structured so can't advise on filter structure. ;)

Please keep in mind filters are just additions to a query so they must be built likey queries. Please see my above post concerning wildcards as well as link to MYSQL documentation.
