Search playlist

does drupal's built in search not work?

It searches the list yes, but it is a fairly blunt object.

Ideally per field searching would be available.

"I want to know which dj played such-and-such song, where the song title is 'Jazz'"

won't happen in the 5.x version. in the d6 code i'm planning on exposing the playlist track info so that you could build a view and use it's filtering.

This flushes out the playlist views support a bit more and converts the table listing on playlist nodes to a view.

i should add that you can can now filter by the playlist fields getting us close to that searching ideal.

I committed the patch to HEAD. I think you should be able to build a view with exposed filtering to find tracks the way you're describing.

I think there's an error in station_playlist_nodeapi(), line 393 of station_playlist.module.

402: $block = $view->preview($display_id);

That assigns a string of text to $block.

405: $node->content[$content_key]['#title'] = $block['subject'];

That attempts to assign an element of $block that does not exist.

I'm not sure what the intended result was, so I'm not sure the best way to fix it.

I'm using 6.x-2.x-dev of both Views and Station.

I tried changing it from $block = $view->preview($display_id); back to $block = $view->execute_display($display_id);, and it solved the problem. But I'm not sure why it was changed in the first place, so this still needs addressing.

mind rolling a patch?

uhhh how's this?

Has anyone tried this out? It's only one line...

hadn't tried it but i don't remember why i changed it in the first place so no harm in rolling it back.

oh forgot to mention committed ;)
