custom blog posts filtering - is this possible - Sitefinity - General Discussions

Posted by Community Admin on 30-Dec-2014 00:00

In one of our pages, we want to display blog posts that match this filter:

(all posts from Blog A) and (posts from Blog B where category contains X)

Is this possible? We are using Sitefinity 7.2. Thanks

Hi,

You can achieve this by extending the filter expression of the blog post widget. You can find more info about the filter expressions in our documentation portal.

Hope this helps.

But how would I do it so that I'd get all postings from Blog A and then just the postings from Blog B where Category.Contains("Taxonomy ID")?

Hello Elizabeth,

Using the filter you can display any items you need.

In your case you need filter expression similar to the following:

Visible = true AND Status = Live AND Parent.Title.Contains("Blog A") OR Visible = true AND Status = Live AND Category.Contains("F811ADE6-C3E1-6C23-A553-FF0000415DFE")

where Taxonomy ID can be taken from your database entry as shown in this screenshot (the category`s title is "test" in my case).

Hope this information helps.
