bb-query help!

    • Posted 1 year ago #

    I'm trying to display a list of posts that are tagged with one tag but NOT another. For example, I want to display all posts tagged "FRUIT" but exclude posts tagged "Apples".

    I tried creating a custom View, but this code does not work:

    function my_custom_views_init() {
	$args = array(
             'tag_id' => '35',
             'tag_id' => '!=72'
        );
	bb_register_view(
              'fruit-without-apples',
              'Fruit (excluding apples)',
              $args,
              false
        );
}

    Neither does this code using bb-query directly:

    $topic_query = new BB_Query( 'topic',
array(
'tag_id' => '35',
'tag_id' => '!=72'
)
);
$results = $topic_query->results;

foreach($results as $result) {
	echo $result->topic_title . '';
	}

    Any ideas?

    You can only have one tag_id arg, that too should be an integer ( also = check is made, you can't have != check ). Try this:

    function my_custom_views_init() {
	$args = array(
             'tag_id' => 35
        );
	bb_register_view(
              'fruits',
              'Fruit',
              $args,
              false
        );
}

    You may try to short-circuit the query though, as shown in this plugin - http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/my-views/trunk/my-views-statistics.php

    Thanks, Gautam, but that appears to just show all posts from Fruits (ie, not excluding Apples), unless I am missing something?

    For this particular application, I'm now trying to set it up so "Fruit" is a forum (so it has a forum id instead of a tag id), and using "Apple" tag to include/exclude certain posts. I'm hoping the bb_query in the bbp plugin will be more flexible.

    In the plugin, it would make use of WP_Query which is a lot flexible - you would be able to do such things there afaik.
