Using @angus ’s very helpful guide , I have been able to add custom fields to topics and groups. Once you successfully add a custom field, is there an (efficient) way to retrieve items based on that custom field ? For example, let’s say I add the custom field fun_level to topics. So now there’s the …

I think I have figured out one method to retrieve topics based on a custom field: search for them and retrieve the results. Here’s an example, imagining you have a button with the action “searchForTopics()” somewhere, and you are trying to get back topics with the custom field fun_level equal to “s…

The way to do this is On the client: Add a topic query param using api.addDiscoveryQueryParam On the server: Filter topic queries by the param using add_custom_filter in the TopicQuery class (see lib/topic_query) The add_custom_filter callback will look a bit like this ::TopicQuery.add_cus…

EDIT: Having looked into api.addDiscoveryQueryParam more, I think I now get the general idea: I want to programmatically retrieve all topics with the custom field fun_level = super-duper-fun. I think perhaps a controller method could do it? ( still figuring that out ). An alternative is to do a sear…

The best approach here depends on your final goal. [Bild] JQ331: actually having the custom field available as a search term How are you envisaging this working? As an option in the sidebar in /search?

Hi @angus . The goal is not to add a query on the side search bar (that would be nice, but not the goal here). The goal is to programmatically load topics based on a custom field into a topic-list when the user visits a page. I think I’ve figured out the template/component (ie, view) piece. Now tryin…

[Bild] JQ331: In my case, the first goal is to have the user go to a new template page I have created at a new path (/fun_levels/:fun_level), and load all topics with the custom field fun_level matching :fun_level. Is this page with a topic list meant to feel similar to existing topic list pa…

Substantively different. But the focus here is just how to load topics that have a custom field value (say, fun_level = ‘super-duper-fun’) into the {{topic-list topics=selectedTopics showPosters=true}} component I am inserting into the page.

Thanks for the info. [Bild] angus: 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}…

[Bild] JQ331: 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. I would advise agianst this for multiple reasons. Sorry to be mysterious, but i…
