Example of filter option #37

Closed stevetrask closed 6 years ago

stevetrask commented 6 years ago

First of all this is a great plugin!

I have tried to find an example of the filter option but to no avail.

How would I use the filter option if I am trying to generate pages where the a record property value is 'example_category' ? or is it that it just exists? I am sure soon as I see an example I will understand it a lot more.

Essentially I want to generate pages only with a certain category value

very good suggestion! Added in the todo list: I will hopefully come back with an example page soon. thanks again.

Hi, I have updated the README file with an example of filter and extended the plugin to support more complex conditions.

Have a look at the documentation of the filter and at the filter_condition parameters. The example site contains some working code.

If you have a chance to read and test it, I'll close the issue.

From an initial look it looks fantastic! Thank you for the super quick turnaround, I will run a test in a bit and let you know.

Just wanted to loop back and it works perfectly, to add a bit of context I am pulling product data from a google sheet then generating a page per record. With this enhancement we can now generate products pages with categories in the structure such as

domain/safety/product-name-here/ domain/accessories/another-product-name-here/

There is lots of potential with this modification especially if you use contentful.com

Thanks again

Excellent, glad to know the new version works! Thank for you input and feedback.

I'll close the issue.
