Symphony.

Is it possible to limit DS if URL Parameter value say

$type != 'interview'

like http://pic2web.ru/article/interview and in this case I need this DS, in case http://pic2web.ru/article/techs I dont need it.

interview and techs are $type URL params.

Do you want to have different DS limits for different filter values? This can certainly be done in the PHP (take a look in /workspace/data-sources/).

And can you please try to formulate complete sentences and to use some sort of markup in your posts? Sometimes lines without punctuation but with links, code-snippets and Symphony-specific terms become a bit hard to read. :-)

No! not filter values. I need xml generation for DS interview list only if $type=interview

Why not filter in the XSLT?

<xsl:if test="$type = 'interview'">
   [your XSLT here]
</xsl:if>

Unfortunately this isn’t possible. The “Required URL Parameter” option in the DS editor just allows the name of a parameter and not its value.

What sort of entries are you filtering? It seems to me like you need to add a Tag List or a Select Box to your entries with possible values of “Interview” and “Techs”, and filter on this field with the $type parameter.

Or you could customise your DS PHP to look at the $_GET values or environment parameters directly.

I’m still fighting that performance problem I wrote about. First I’m trying to reduce sql queries on building xml. And as I need DS interview only for type=”interview” so i’m trying to limit it somehow for that case.

Select box wont go )) as it will make things more difficult for content creation.

Should I know how I can do that I would have already got that task accomplished ))

What field in your section determines whether an entry is an Interview or not?

That was solved by adding limiting by ($url-interview) ?interview=yes now works much quicker, going to try caching
