Custom package that needs to use the filterBy method

Permalink December 17, 2012 at 8:56 AM

Hi,

I have pretty much copied the entire user model for the listing of "jobs" (not system jobs). I am able to add custom attributes to each job using the dashboard, etc. For example: I have a "job_type" that has been added which can either be "permanent" or "temporary".

So am now trying to use the filterByAttribute method:

Loader::model('job_list', 'my_jobs');
Loader::model('attribute/categories/myjobs', 'my_jobs');
$jobList = new JobList(); 
$jobList->filterByAttribute('job_type',10);
$jobs = $jobList->get();
var_dump(count($jobs));        
var_dump($jobs);

The ID for "permanent" jobs is definitely 10 so the list that gets outputted above should be filtered. However it's not - I get ALL the jobs. So - my question is could there be anything that I have missed when copying the built in User model that would stop the filter from working?

Thanks in advance.
