Hi Sebloders,
i'm trying to filter articles by years (eg: 2015, 2016, 2017) in a list & serach type with the following free query in a select dynamic field to retrieve just the year of published articles
SELECT DISTINCT YEAR (publish_up) FROM #__content WHERE catid IN ( 16, 17, 18, 19 ) ORDER BY publish_up DESC
but the serach doesn't filter... it shows all the articles of any date whatever option i select.
Any suggestion please?
Thx in advance

This query tells nothing about the search, it just selects years for select. You need to enable debugging in search type to see search query.

Hi Klas,
thanks for the quick reply.
I changed the query this way:
SELECT DISTINCT YEAR (publish_up) as value FROM #__content WHERE catid IN ( 16, 17, 18, 19 ) ORDER BY publish_up DESC
I also had to change the storage of my custom field to publish_up column.
Now the search works as expected.
Thank you
Luca
