Append additional selectors to Title

Hi,

I’ve been messing around with FiveFilters for a couple of days now. It’s been a lot of experimenting and trying to understand it’s working which as a non programming hobbyist self hoster this proves quite difficult at times.

I’m curious if it’s possible at all to append multiple things to, for example a title.

In this case I want to append .title to .name so the full formatting becomes “Belastingdienst - Functioneel Beheerder Splunk” for example.

Hi there, it’s not currently possible to select more than one element to be used as the title.

What you can do is select a parent element as title and it will use the text content from all child elements. For example:

<div class="summary">
  <h2>Title</h2>
  <h3>Subtitle</h3>
</div>

Instead of using h2 as the item title selector, you can use .summary.

If you have elements you don’t need, for example:

<div class="summary">
  <h2>Title</h2>
  <h3>Subtitle</h3>
  <p>Don't need this</p>
</div>

You can enable HTML cleanup and enter .summary p to remove the <p> elements.

Maybe my use case is a bit unconventional, but the issue I run into when using .summary is the inability to restructure the results. It might be something out of scope for it’s intended use but I think it could be useful for specific search queries.

In my case, as backwards it may sound, the title is less important in this specific case, whereas the subtitle matters more. I’m already searching on various keywords I know is going to end up in the search result, but my focus is more on the details.

<div class="summary">
  <h2>Job Title</h2>
  <h3>Company Name</h3>
</div>

When using .summary, I run into the issue where there’s usually a cutoff of the result.
For example; Job Title Company N…

Both results are equally useful to me, but for faster selective searching I’d like to know which company is offering the job first. Except when specifying h3 first I can’t append h2 after, unless I put h2 into a different field like Item description, which requires me opening the result of a feed for every item.

Unless there’s a more practical way to solve this I’m not aware of I don’t think it’s possible? Unless there’s an ability to append in some way.

Thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately combining elements selectively to be used as the title, the way you describe, isn’t yet possible with Feed Creator.
