<txp:article_custom Ingredients=’<txp:variable name=“Ingredients” />’ Ethnicities=’<txp:variable name=“Ethnicities” />’ />

doesn’t work for me but

<txp:article_custom Ingredients=’<txp:variable name=“Ingredients” />’ />

does.

I’m using glz_custom_fields, and I really need to filter articles by three or four custom fields. what am I missing? can anyone suggest a solution/workaround?

With comma separated values in the custom field (I use chh_keywords), article_custom doesn’t work for me.

]]> Kjeld Duits Comment on Filter article lists using drop-down select menus by Andrew Swihart 1 1 Sat, 15 May 10 16:46:41 +0000 OK, I am only using one value per custom field so that’s why I’m not having problems.

You could use smd_query in place of the article_custom tag if necessary. Not sure if this is the best code to do it, but try this out (not tested):

<txp:smd_query column='*' table='textpattern' where='Category1="<txp:category1/>" AND custom_1="?<txp:custom_field name="[custom field 1 name]"/>" AND custom_2="?<txp:custom_field name="[custom field 2 name]"/>"
ORDER BY Posted desc 
LIMIT 10 
OFFSET 0' form="article-form" />

In the current project I will need to add mutliple additional fields to the statement. I get the expected data in the url when I add a third but the results do not return correctly ie I am unable to get the third field to display anything — can someone show how to add a third to the conditional articles list —
