[EP-tech] Re: [solved] Subject based Views exclude top level

Thanks to Adam for some off-list assistance, the solution to this was, rather than trying to work around my bodge to views generation, to change the eprint_fields_automatic routine that was updating the (multiple) field over which the view was built, so that it also included the relevant parent entries for any child entries, and then put the Update::Views routine back to its original state.

 

Cheers,

Alan

The new job is going well, so far :)  Thanks for asking.

 

Can we talk specifics here.  Why are you trying to do this, and what are the names of these nodes?

Hi Adam (Hope you’re settling in to the new location and role!),

 

You are correct regarding the hierarchy.  I’d like the user to start at a menu listing

* parent 1

** child 1

** child 2

* parent 2

** child 3

** child 4

 

And not mention (or ideally spend effort creating a subject view for) the grandparent.

Hi Alan

 

So, you have a hierarchy like this:

 

* grandparent

** parent 1

*** child 1

*** child 2

** parent 2

*** child 3

*** child 4

 

Is that right?

 

When you choose to browse by this view, were would you like the user to start, if not at the grandparent level?

 

I’ve accomplished things a little like this by linking directly to a page that’s not the top level in the hierarchy.  However, if you’re linking to your /view/ page, then in may involve creating a view.html page with links inserted by hand.

Subject: [EP-tech] Subject based Views exclude top level

 

Does anyone know if there is a configuration parameter to not include the top level subject in a view based on a field using that subject hierarchy, similar to the “showtop => 0” parameter on the definition for a field using a subject ?

 

i.e. we have a 3 level hierarchy but the view only includes entries for levels 2 and 3 and not level 1.

 

Cheers,

 

Alan
