Filter by metadata

If you use the Metadata Add-on by Communardo, you can filter the results by the metadata in the following way to show only content with the metadata City:Berlin .

title:Confluence* AND metadatafield.city:Berlin

How to determine the name of the metadata field and some more examples can be found in Use the Communardo Metadata Add-on with the Enterprise Theme News Macros.

Filter by the User Profile

If you use the Metadata Add-on and the User Profile Add-on by Communardo you can combine these to use the profile information of the current user. This allows you to provide a very user specific listing.

metadatafield.city:upc.currentUser.Location

The part upc.currentUser.Location will be replaced by the Location of the user (if such a field exists). More information about this feature can be found in Use the Communardo User Profiles Add-on with the Enterprise Theme News Macros
