Override Status in setup?

britchie 9 Oct 2014 04:38 question, complete

Hi Low,

Is it possible to override the selected status options in the managed set filters by using the 'force_set_params="yes" parameter in the {exp:low_reorder:entries} tag pair?

Reason: I want to set-up a duplicate private, client-only preview page where draft and open status entries are displayed but the live public page shows only the open entries.

   force_set_params="yes" has the opposite effect. It will ignore any parameters on the Entries tag and just use the filters defined in the given set. If you want to override a Set's status, simply add the status="" parameter to the Entries tag.

   Thx. This is working on one page, but not on another where I'm using the {exp.low_reorder:entries} tag with the next/previous tags for pagination.
   
   Thoughts?
   
   Just to check: I have the next/previous tags outside the {exp.low_reorder:entries} tag. Should they be inside this?

   Can you share your template code for the tags that work and the one that doesn't? You can use http://pastie.org/ or http://pastebin.com/ for large chunks of code.
   
   Also, what's the output of the Template Debugger for the tag that doesn't produce the right results?
   
   You can have the prev/next tags inside or outside of the Entries tag. Having them inside is slightly more performant, as you can use the entry_id parameter instead of the url_title parameter.

   Here's the code that's working in the showcase menu.
   ie: shows entries with status of 'draft'.
   
   (Set is configured with 'open' and 'draft' statuses)
   
   {exp:low_reorder:entries set="ro_showcase" status="draft"}
   
   {showcase_thumb}
   
   {/showcase_thumb}
   
   {title} ({view_count_one})
   
   {/exp:low_reorder:entries}
   
   ==========================
   
   Here's the code that's not working ie: is not overriding status in sets.
   
   (Single entry page)
   
   Home<!-- /.btn -->
   {exp:low_reorder:next_entry set="ro_showcase" url_title="{segment_2}" loop="yes"}Next{/exp:low_reorder:next_entry}
   {exp:low_reorder:prev_entry set="ro_showcase" url_title="{segment_2}" loop="yes"}Prev{/exp:low_reorder:prev_entry}
   <!-- /.navigation -->
   {exp:low_reorder:entries set="ro_showcase" limit="1" dynamic="yes" track_views="one" status="draft"}
   
   

   
   {showcase_slides}
   
   • 
   
   {/showcase_slides}
   
   
   {!----}
   
   <!-- /.portfolio-banner -->
   
   <!-- /.portfolio-bannercontainer -->
   
   <!-- more stuff in here -->
   
   {/exp:low_reorder:entries}

   You'll have to set the status parameter to the prev/next tags as well. Does that help?

   Thx Low - I'll try that.
