Hi Dan,
Thank you for this hint. I've used +p and +title so much that I had
forgotten about the +: syntax for data fields. The fi condition now works
as expected (and by the way, users are assigning priorities, so a page can
have more than one priority, but I just want to now if there is at least
one person who gave it priority A, hence the inlist).
For the sorting, however, I cannot make it work. Here is another example
where I am trying to have a page with users birthdays... I trid to do
[(search group=member.* if="set {+:birthdateday} && set {+:birthdatemonth}
&& set {+:birthdateyear}"
sort={+:birthdatemonth},{+:birthdateday},{+:birthdateyear} type=-{zones}
fmt="{+:birthdateday}/{+:birthdatemonth} [[{+p}|+]] ({+:birthdateyear})"
count=false)]
but then the results are:
04/08 Eloise Beranger (1983)
21/12 Lucian Sholva (1993)
14/12 James Faith (1991)
07/07 Wanda Venbi (1997)
... Wanda should come before Eloise and Lucian at the end...
I also tried to write sort='{+:birthdatemonth} {+:birthdateday}
{+:birthdateyear}' but the result is the same. I can't find anything on
Boltwire's website that could solve this issue. Any idea?
Thanks in advance,
Tiffany
