Filtering still not working correctly

Submitted by Belgand on Mon, 2006-05-22 21:49. Bug Reports

Filtering still fails to work correctly most of the time.

An example: I want to block all articles with the tags: bskyb, sky, and skyplus from a feed. I select the appropriate feed's properties and set it to match all conditions and set a rule stating that tag is not one of the following for the previously stated tags. When the feed is displayed it will still display articles with those tags. In some cases it will display articles that have more than one of the excluded tags. In this case all of the articles contain multiple tags including tags that are not listed as excluded (and that's where I think the problem might be coming from).

I'm still only getting one of each article so that problem is fixed, but at present the filtering isn't actually filtering anything out most of the time.

Can you send us screenshot of defined filter (this example) and little description what you want this filter to do.. I hope we can help you.

I did some advanced filtering myself yesterday and it seemed to work :).

Screenshot

The first article is representative of the type that I want to be excluding. As you can see I have the filtering set to include all of the rules. I am working with the correct feed and I have specified to filter against the tags: "bskyb", "sky", "sky plus", and "sky plus". Since the first article listed has two of these tags in it it should not be displayed, yet it still is. Preview is on and even after accepting the filter, then going back, changing it, and redoing the filter as shown it fails to remove the article (or other, similar ones).

I did a further test with another article that had two tags. Adding the first tag to the rule listed did not remove it. Adding both tags, however, did. When I then removed the second tag I had added (i.e. working backwards) it showed up again.

Thus it seems that the problem is that the filter requires all of the tags to be filtered out to be present. Perhaps this is related to an incompatibility between choosing "Match all of the following rules" and "is not any of". Instead of merely treating the line as a single rule to follow it treats each tag listed as an individual rule, since not all of the conditions match it is not filtered out.
