Combine selectors images.count>0 and textfield!=''

[jan]

Hi again,

I've got one more problem with selectors. I need get pages from page array that have images uploaded (fieldtype image) a OR (logical) imagelinks (fieldtype text) set.

Of course, it's no problem to get pages that have images uploaded AND imagelinks set:

$pages->find("articleImageFiles.count>0, articleImageLinks!=''");

What I need is a query to get pages that have images uploaded, or imagelinks set, or both. So a logic OR is needed.

Things like this unfoturnatelly didn't wok:

$pages->find("articleImageFiles.count>0|articleImageLinks!=''");

So does anyone know how to combine the selector elements with logical OR?

Thanks a lot to you all! Really a great community!!

Try this:

$pages->find("articleImageFiles|articleImageLinks!=''");

Sorry, unfortunatelly this is not working. An article that has image links but no image files isn't found.

This also does not work:

$pages->find("articleImageFiles|articleImageLinks!=");

Any other ideas?

what if you use repeaters for the links, instead of a text field? Then you can do this:

$pages->find("articleImageFiles.count|articleImageLinks.count>0);

I'll keep this solution in mind. But a simple textfield with comma-seperated values acutally is "ok" for my needs

I'd have to change a couple of things if I use repaeter fields. So it would be nice, if theres another solution.

And perhaps if there's no solution, this issue is worth, thinking about new capibilities of processwire core?!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, unfortunatelly this is not working.

How about:

$pages->find("articleImageLinks|articleImageFiles!=, include=hidden"); 

I've not tried to combine these two different fieldtypes in an OR before, so if that doesn't work, Diogo's suggestion might be a good one, or you could always do this:

$pages->find("articleImageLinks!=")->add($pages->find("articleImageFiles.count>0"));
