Hello,
I want to execute a query where I can exclude posts from given board ids. I tried below approach :
SELECT * FROM messages WHERE board.id NOT IN ('board-name')
But getting exception that it is invalid query syntax. Can any one suggest how can it be implemented?
ronaksomani irach15 There is no such query which can help you out to exclude specific board/category. But alternatively, you can achieve it by using change in community structure.
Option 1:
Like you can create 2 categories i.e. Category1 & Category2.
Category1 will contain boards which you want to exclude. Category2 will contain rest of the boards.
Now you can use the query
Select * from message where category.id='Category2'
Option 2:
<#assign excIds = ["Id1", "Id2","Id3"] />
<#assign boards = rest( "2.0", "/search?q=" + "select * from boards"?url).data />
<#list boards.items as board>
<#if excIds?seq_index_of(board.id)== -1 >
//do something here
</#if>
</#list>
ronaksomani - Try this instead, you dont need to use V2 for this, simple if condition can do this.
<#if boardID != "exclude_board">
//run you query here
SELECT * FROM messages WHERE board.id = 'boardID'
</#if>
VarunGrazitti : Can I pass list of board-ids to that if condition? As my requirement is to filter all those posts which have mentioned board-ids. Here I can have multiple board-ids which I want to filter.
ronaksomani - how long is the list of the boards to exclude? you can use or condition as below:
<#if boardID != "exclude_bd1" || boardID != "exclude_bd2" || boardID != "exclude_bd3">
</#if>
a more maintainable version:
<#assign excIds = ["Id1", "Id2","Id3"] /> <#if excIds?seq_index_of(boardId)== -1 > //do something here </#if>
