Posts

General Usage

Example

<posts
    source="current_page"
    source_id="some-common-source-id"
    source_unique="true"
    without_current="true"
    without_posts="123123,3123123,5325235"
    limit="20"
    priority="0"
/>

Attributes

  • source (default: none)

  • source_id (default: none) – allows for the combination of several <posts /> elements into a single DB call

    • Usually generated automatically based on the other attributes

  • source_unique (default: false) – allows for the management of duplicates

  • without_current (default: false) – allows for the management of current post exclusion

  • without_posts (default: none) – allows for the exclusion of explicitly specified posts

    • Can be a comma-separated list of post IDs

    • Can be a Skeleton Expression

  • priority (default: 0) – allows to alter the posts loading order. <posts> elements with higher priority are loaded first

    • For example, this can have an effect on duplicated posts between different sources

    [period filter]
    [buckets filter]
    [request filter]
    [ai filter]
    order="newest"
    limit="20"
/>

Attributes

  • phrase – enables full-text search

    • Can be a specific phrase

    • Can be a Skeleton Expression

    • oldest – for the least recent results to appear at the top

    • manual – for manually set order to be used

    • title – for ordering by title

    • none – for not forcing any order (required for the Request Filter)

      • order_period (default: 1h) – allows specifying period ending now for Page Views to be taken into the account

        • 12h – by PVs from the last 12 hours

        • 7d – by PVs from the last 7 days

        • lifetime – by total number of PVs

    • relevance – for ordering by relevance to phrase

      • order_decay-speed (default: 10) – allows to specify the level of relevance vs. the age of the results:

        • 10 – the older results quickly become irrelevant

        • 0 – the age of the result doesn’t influence the order

    • similarity – for ordering by similarity to the AI prompt

Limitations

Collection Source

Multi Source

Example

<posts source="multi" limit="20" strategy="fallback">
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-1" />
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-2" />
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-3" />
</posts>

<posts source="multi" limit="20" strategy="max-limit">
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-1" limit="3" />
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-2" limit="5" />
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-3" />
</posts>

<posts source="multi" limit="20" strategy="mutually-exclusive">
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections="section-1" />
    <source name="filtered" ... from_regular_sections_other_than="section-1" />
</posts>

Notes

  • Allows to combine multiple sources

Strategies

  • Fallback strategy loads missing number of posts from the second and consequent sources only for the first page. Pagination can be achieved using ignore_page_number=”true” attribute but it must be used with caution because of the performance implications

  • Max-limit strategy works fine with pagination by it always performs queries for the first sources (with max limits). In order to minimize impact on the performance those limits should not be large

  • Mutually Exclusive strategy performs as less queries as possible but requires the sets of posts from the sources to be mutually exclusive. Otherwise, there are going to be duplicates.
