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 every listing custom field you created in the Fields Manager you can use Field.jr_fieldname format.

CUSTOM WHERE Examples

Filter results to listings that have Canon value for the jr_brand custom field. For single select lists and radio button fields:

Field.jr_brand = '*canon*'

Field.jr_city = '*new-york*'

For multiple select and checkbox fields:

Field.jr_brand LIKE '%*canon*%'

Field.jr_city LIKE '%*new-york*%'

If you want to filter the results to include more than one brand (multiple select, checkboxes)

(Field.jr_brand LIKE '%*canon*%' AND Field.jr_brand LIKE '%*sony*%')

To filter results based on the value of a text custom field:

Field.jr_model = 'xyz'

To filter results based on the value of a numeric field:

Field.jr_price > 999

Field.jr_price BETWEEN 100 AND 1000

To filter results to listings that have a value filled in for a specific field:

Field.jr_brand != ''

CUSTOM WHERE Examples dealing with Dates

Find all events happening today or in the future using a date field

Field.jr_eventdate >= DATE(NOW())

Find events for this month:

MONTH(Field.jr_eventdate) = MONTH(CURDATE())

Find all listings submitted in the current month. This uses the listing's creation date.

MONTH(Listing.created) = MONTH(CURDATE())

If you want to get the listings modified in the current month:

MONTH(Listing.modified) = MONTH(CURDATE())

Listings submitted in the past 30 days:

Listing.created >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY)

Listings modified in the past 30 days:

Listing.modified >= DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE, INTERVAL 30 DAY)

CUSTOM ORDER BY Examples

Order listings by highest price

Field.jr_price DESC
