[EP-tech] Re: Views
Hi John,
Yes I use filters in views, and I think by using the same syntax as you
do, e.g. (real life example):
filters => [
{ meta_fields => [ "collections" ], value =>
"research", describe => 0 }
],
Some repositories have completely separated certain topics (for example
'Archives' from the rest of the repository), see:
http://usir.salford.ac.uk/view/archive_dates/
VS.
http://usir.salford.ac.uk/view/year/
^^ these work by setting the "filters" appropriately. Items appear to
belong to separate repositories, but nope, it's all under the same roof!
Seb.
