Query to find all object with a certain custom field value

Hello,

My request is, I have different Post Types and some of them are linked. ( I have my post type “place” and my post type “news”, one news is linked to a place via a custom field ) On my “Place” page, I’d like to list all the news related to it. What I do for the moment is I created a Helper function, which finds all the news for the place. My worry is I’m doing a query which is too long to execute : mesAnims = CamaleonCms::Site.first.posts.sort_by_field("date-de-debut", "desc").where(post_type: 69) In other words, i find all the news. And then I do a loop to get only the ones for my current item. `lesAnims = []

  mesAnims.each do |anim|

    if !anim.get_fields('bistrot-associe',0)[0].nil? && anim.get_fields('bistrot-associe',0)[0] == @post.id.to_s

        lesAnims.push(anim)

    end

  end` 

I would like to know if I could avoid this loop to directly add a “Where mycustomfieldslug = myvalue” . Thanks a lot,

custom_field_slug is the DB column name to save the custom_field key. Example:

Cama::PostType.first.posts.includes(:custom_field_values).merge(CamaleonCms::CustomFieldsRelationship.where(custom_field_slug: 'my_slug_for_city', value: 'Paris'))
# Filtering all posts that contains custom field key = "my_slug_for_city" and custom field value is "Paris".

Please bundle update, I released another version with the changes *.11

Hi @floreasy I improved this part and also I added small docs (sorting, filtering, preloading) here: http://camaleon.tuzitio.com/documentation/category/40756-uncategorized/custom-fields-1.html Please review and let me know if it works well for you.
