Filter Geofinder results if a Matrix field has data

Question

I've got a simple Geofinder form that's working great but we now want to have the results only show specific entries. The entries we want showing are just the ones that have data in a Matrix field.

Is this possible or is there some sort of workaround? I'm stumped on this one. :/

Edit: I should note that it's possible to use a conditional within the Geofinder results tag ({exp:geofinder:location_results}) to simply not display the entries with an empty Matrix field. Like so:

{exp:geofinder:location_results}
  {if my_field}
    {my_field}{data}{/my_field}
  {/if}
{/exp:geofinder:location_results}

What I've found is that this breaks pagination altogether because the count gets all screwed up. We need pagination to work here.

Answer 1

From memory Geofinder extends the channel:entries tag, so you should be able to use the search parameter to only find those which have a value for 'my_field' - instead of using the conditional inside.

{exp:geofinder:location_results search:my_field="not IS_EMPTY"}
...

That should give you the correct counts etc. hopefully :)
