I've got a question that I can't seem to get fixed all by myself... I've got a search form and each entry has got field with some checkboxes (in this case these are options). Now I'd like to search when they check multiple checkboxes but I can't seem to get that to work... I've set up a form in which I'm fetching a parameter and just to test it with 2 checkboxes checked I've split them up in 'week1' and 'week2' like so:

{% set week_search_query =  week1 ~ ' ' ~ week2  %}

I've tried the same with 'and' and '&' in between the quotes but can't seem to get it to work, while with the 'week1' alone like so:

{% set week_search_query =  week1 %}

it works perfectly. (if I print out the content of 'week_search_query' in this case I get

weken2017:41

with weken2017 as fieldname and 41 as value). But what I'd like to to is search by 2 checked checkboxes at once as in the first example, so I can:

craft.entries.search(week_search_query)

All help is welcome, I feel like quite a newbie ATM :-)

  • So, I've been able to find part of the solution, and I can find an "AND" solution like so: weken2017:'42, 43' Now that I got that working I discovered I actually need an "OR" solution, so the search goes on and all help is still appreciated :-) – Jan Oct 17 '17 at 14:56

Updating answer as question was updated

As I see it, you want to find any and all entries where the field weken2017 has either the value 42 or 43.

Assuming that I have understood this much correctly, {% set entries = craft.entries.search(['OR', 'weken2017:42', 'weken2017:43']) %}

  • My bad, it was the end of the workday, of course I ran it through search, edited my question :-). I want to run the week_search_query through the search function :-) – Jan Oct 17 '17 at 11:58
  • No worries, it happens to the best of us. Updated my answer now to reflect upon your updated question :) – Fuglsetrampen Oct 18 '17 at 8:28
