Bad filtering on gathering_type

[bmacadre]

When searching for a gathering of a particular type everything works except for type 0 (mining). If you try this kind of search :

search?one=gathering&gathering_type|et=X

It will work for X equal to 1, 2 and 3 (respectively Quarrying, Logging and Harvesting), but with X=0 all gathering are returned instead of only mining.

Hi, has there been any progress on this?

Hi,

I did look into this but it was more complicated than I originally thought. This is because I use PHP (lol) and it is treated as false and no value is provided, if I allow an "empty" value it becomes problematic as all these filters are dynamically built based on a column list, meaning you could provide false for a lot of data.

I could possibly hack something in however much of this has been solved in v3 which I've been focusing on. The current site is on code freeze, however I might attempt a hack, which is fine :)

Thanks for the quick reply :) I'm looking to use the api for a gathering timer app I'm making and was looking at ways to implement filtering of the gathering types. Is there anything you'd recommend for filtering the gathering_type as it stands now? If it involves work on your part then don't worry about it, I know how much of a nightmare it is when people ask you to work on old projects when a new one is in the works
