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.
