Item Finder allows you to find a needed item by parsing numbers in url_titles.
This plugin allows you to find needed item by parsing numbers in url_titles.
PARAMETERS:
1) item - Required. Possible values are integers starting from 1.
2) category - Optional. Allows you to specify category id. Pipe character and not
arent supported.
3) weblog - Optional (for EE1.x only). Allows you to specify weblog short name. Pipe character and not
arent supported.
3) channel - Optional (for EE2.0+ only). Allows you to specify channel short name. Pipe character and not
arent supported.
4) site - Optional. Default value is 1.
5) orderby - Optional. Possible values are date and title. Default is date.
Use this parameter together with if_not_found parameter.
6) if_not_found - Optional. Possible values are none, first and last. If
the value is none, then in case needed item was not found, the variable
{item_finder_url_title} will output nothing. If the value is first, then
in such case it will output url_title of the first entry. If the value is last, then
in such case it will output url_title of the last entry.
VARIABLES:
1) {item_finder_url_title} - will output url_title of the entry containing item specified in parameters.
EXAMPLE OF USAGE:
Say you have channel articles in which there are several entries
posted into category technical, whose url_titles are as follows:
articles_15_20
article_21
article_22_24
articles_24_26
article_27
Now suppose you need to display entry containing article 25.
In order to achieve this you will need to write such code:
{exp:item_finder channel="articles" category="technical" item="25" orderby="date" if_not_found="first" parse="inward"}
{redirect="my_template_group/my_template/{item_finder_url_title}/"}
{/exp:item_finder}
{item_finder_url_title} will output articles_24_26 and needed entry
will be displayed.
INCORRECTLY FORMED URL TITLES
Some url_titles are considered incorrectly formed and are not parsed by the plugin. Those
are url_titles in which:
1) some number is equal to zero
2) some number contain leading zero
3) there are more than two numbers
4) second number is bigger than the first
