Using Custom Params, Custom Where and Custom Order settings

Custom WHERE and Custom ORDER BY parameters are available in the Listings Module and in the Custom List JReviews menu item.

You can use them to filter listings based on certain values and order listings based on certain fields.

For example, to get all listings that have Cannon value for jr_brand custom field, we can use this in Custom WHERE parameter:

Field.jr_brand LIKE '%canon%'

If we want to order those listings by highest price, we can enter this in the Custom ORDER BY parameter:

Field.jr_price DESC

Field.jr_brand and Field.jr_price are examples of the columns in the database that can be used for Custom WHERE and Custom ORDER BY. For every listing custom field you created in the Fields Manager you can use Field.jr_fieldname format.

When checking the value of a text custom field, use this:

Field.jr_model = 'xyz'

When checking the value of a single select or radiobuttons custom field, use this (option value inside asterisks):

Field.jr_city = '*new-york*'

When checking the value of a multiple select or checkboxes custom field, use LIKE with option value inside percentages:

Field.jr_genre LIKE '%comedy%'

We can also check if the field is not empty

Field.jr_model != ''

To check if a decimal or integer field is higher than certain number, we can use this:

Field.jr_price > 999
