how to compactly call multiple elements in bric_soap

Hi all

I have to call a long list of elements to publish in bric_soap and was hoping there was a compact way to call them all with something like:

--search element_type=ANY(home,cover,index)

Right now I think I just have to list each call to an element separately:

bric_soap story list_ids --search publish_status=1 --search unexpired=1 --search checked_out=0 --search element_type=home --search element_type=index --search element_type=cover

Is there a compact way ? Or only the long way?

thank you,
Dawn

Correction

Again - I feel I've solved this problem before but can't find my old documentation nor docs for it on the site.

So I need to use element NOT element_type. However when I try to search for more than one element as below, bric_soap only returns the last element in the series:

bric_soap story list_ids --search publish_status=1 --search unexpired=1 --search checked_out=0 --search element=home --search element=profile_index

Surely there's a way to reference multiple elements in a bric_soap search

thanks
Dawn

Maybe send this to the 'users' list? Off the top, I don't think it's possible (currently) to use ANY(). You could patch bric_soap to do so, no doubt.

Yeah, you need to run bric_soap once for each one.

Best,

/me shrugs. Script it. Or patch in support for ANY(). ;-P
