Retrieve Topics based on custom field?

[JQ331]

Thanks for the info.

So if you’re not extending the discovery structure,

I’m happy doing whatever way is easiest to just get the topics back that match the custom field value. I have a working route/path/template in place at /fun_levels/:fun_level, which loads the {{topic-list}} component. Again, if that way is doing a search for that custom field value (ajax(/search)), then that works too. I’m increasingly thinking that is the most straightforward way. I just haven’t gotten that to work yet.

And to clarify, my current method is to

1. get back topics by ajax (just need to figure out what the right endpoint is/how to set that endpoint up–that’s the key),
2. parse the result, and
3. do component.set('showTopics', parsed-result), to load the topics into {{topic-list topics=showTopics}}.

You’ll also need a client side route with an ajax call to an endpoint mapped to the list_controller.rb .

This way seems a bit mysterious to me. I see the methods in the list_controller, such as def topics_by, but how would I take one of those methods, and alter it to return topics based on a custom field value?
