Symphony.

No, nothing to do with the other thread. A completely different project.

This one must have a very advanced seacrh and regarding this parameter, my idea will be to allow the user decide whether to use the AND logic or OR. But for now I am not even able to get the OR logic...

By the way, if I manually write ?parameter1=somevalue,othervalue in the url it works as expected (OR).

I just realized that ?parameter1=somevalue&parameter1=othervalue filters only by the latter value (only this value is assigned to the $url-parameter1). Is this the default or I've done something wrong in my setup?

Regarding the OR logic, I discovered this thread and after implementing it, the $url-parameter1 is set with comma separated values (in the parameter pool). However, I can't seem to output it correctly in the url. I get: ?parameter1[]=somevalue&parameter1[]=othervalue.

UPDATE: I noticed that even if I get ?parameter1[]=somevalue&parameter1[]=othervalue in the url, the filter works correctly with OR logic.

Regarding the AND logic, I am modifying Marco's event to use plus sign, instead of a comma. This one works correctly, too.

Now, to let the user choose which logic to use, I have added a select field in the form and based on its value I have to choose how to join the parameter values.

Could you give me a hand with the PHP? I have written this in the __trigger() function of the event:

        if ($_GET[$this->withAll] = "no") {
            $page->_param['url-'. $this->elementName] = join(',', $_GET[$this->elementName]);
        }
        if ($_GET[$this->withAll] = "yes") {
            $page->_param['url-'. $this->elementName] = join('+', $_GET[$this->elementName]);
        }

but with either value of the select field (widthAll) it returns the + join. I've probably not written the if statement correctly, because if I use the event with only one of the join function (either) it works as it is supposed to.

I appreciate your help!

Try == instead of =. (It's a comparison, so you need a comparison operator.)

Thanks, Michael. I changed = to ==. I also fixed the two if statements, now using else if. But I think the real culprit was that I had declared the variable that holds the yes/no value outside the __trigger function (public $widthAll = 'search_all';). But now I have it inside the trigger:

    protected function __trigger(){
        $page = Frontend::instance()->Page();
        $widthAll = $_GET['search_all'];
        if ($widthAll == "yes") {
            $page->_param['url-'. $this->elementName] = join('+', $_GET[$this->elementName]);
        }
        else if ($widthAll == "no") {
            $page->_param['url-'. $this->elementName] = join(',', $_GET[$this->elementName]);
        }
    }

and it works correctly. Thanks a lot for helping.

You are welcome, ellie. Looks like you already build some really cool features into your Symphony projects! :-)

Well, thank you, Michael! I truly enjoy myself, Symphony is amazing! It's incredible how many possibilities it offers depending on how you use the "simple" tools it gives you.

I wish I could show you how the search module is coming out. Using nickdunn's Search Index, alpacaa's custom event, carsten's dynamic sorting and lots of thread reading in here, I am pretty sure it will beat the site's competitors on search functionalities!
