Page list filtering with URL filter

questoph

Hi guys!

New to this discussion forum. Hope I did not overlook a similar topic.

I am currently preparing a website using the Bulma theme. In a portfolio page, I am using the "Show Pages Below" variable to set the page list to the list of people defined elsewhere. All the people in the list are tagged to link them to specific topics. In the portfolio page, the filter menu uses these tags.

Is there any way to predefine a filter via the backend (without rewriting the template) to automatically set the filter to a certain tag so that only the people belonging to a certain tag group show up here? I have tried to use url filter parameter (?filters=...) added to the "Show Pages Below" path since the variable "Template Filter" only works for template names but that does not seem to do the trick.

questoph Hi, I'm afraid that this is not possible out of the box. But it is very easy to implement without completely rewriting the template. Automad version 1.4.0 was just release today and it includes a new option to filter pagelists by any variable. Simply add the following to the configuration of the pagelist:

<@ newPagelist {
    ...
    match: '{"url": "#@{ filterUrlRegex }#"}',
    ...
} @>

A user could then filter a pagelist by URLs matching the filterUrlRegex variable like for example /blog or even (/blog|/portfolio).

very cool, thanks for the swift reply. i've just started to play around with rewriting the bulma theme anyways, so i guess i will implement that directly.

got a solution. i altered the line proposed by you to

match: '{"tags": "#@{ tagFilterRegex }#"}',

and then went to a search pattern TAGNAME*(?=,?) in the variable definition.

thx again.

Hi. Found this post. I have a similar problem I need on the main page of the site, the portfolio template should only display entries either with the tag work, or located on the page /services. I tried to apply the given code but it fails. You can help and write some ready-made solution. At the moment, the record displays the following code
<ul class="<@ if @{ :pagelistCount } @>masonry <@ end @>grid-margin uk-grid uk-grid-width-small-1-2 uk-grid-width-medium-1-3"> <@ foreach in pagelist @> <li> <a href="@{ url }" class="uk-panel uk-panel-box uk-panel-box-hover "> <@ with @{ imageTeaser | def('*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png, *.gif') } { width: 430 } ~@> <img class="uk-margin-small-bottom" src="@{ :fileResized }" alt="@{ :basename }" width="@{ :widthResized }" height="@{ :heightResized }" /> <@~ end @> <div class="uk-panel-title"> @{ title } </div> <span class="uk-text-muted"> <@ ../../snippets/date.php @> </span> </a> </li> <@~ else @> <li class="uk-push-1-3"> <h2>@{ notificationNoSearchResults | def('No pages found.')}</h2> </li> <@~ end @> </ul>

Lz127 Hi, the latest release includes some new block types. There is also now a pagelist block that can be used and configured in the block editor without touching a template. It has multiple settings including an URL filter and a tag filter. So you don't need to change the template anymore. It can be done now directly in the dashboard.

I have updated. I got the Filter Pagelist By Url setting in the page settings. I enter the url / service from which I need to display pages and nothing changes, it still displays everything. I reworked your alpha theme for me, maybe the reason is that the theme is not updated?

The task is such that on the portfolio page there are two blocks in one, records from one page are displayed in another block, the last three records from another page. Can this be implemented somehow?

Lz127 The block editor in the dashboard is not supported in old themes. You have to implement it into older themes yourself. Just replace the text variable as follows:

@{ +main }

Then you can configure your pagelists in the dashboard.

Alternatively you can keep the text variable and just configure the pagelist object properly. Your snippet above doesn’t include a pagelist configuration. You can try the following snippet:

<@ newPagelist {
    match: '{"url": "/url/", "tags": "/(tag1|tag2)/"}'
} @>

Note that the snippet above requires a valid JSON string containing valid regex patterns.

Thanks. I managed
