Filters

Filters are admin-defined keyword rules that hide matching items at fetch time. The list lives at AdminCP > [MC] News Aggregator > Filters.

Adding a filter​

  1. Navigate to AdminCP > [MC] News Aggregator > Filters.
  2. Click Add filter.
  3. Configure:
    • Title: a description for your own reference.
    • Keywords: one or more terms. Comma-separate to match any of several terms.
    • Match scope: which item field to match against — title only, title and summary, or other configured scopes.
    • Active: untick to keep the filter row but skip it on fetch.
  4. Click Save.

Filters apply to new items only. Existing items in the database are not retroactively re-evaluated when a filter is added or edited.

Match semantics​

  • Matching is case-insensitive.
  • Keyword matching is substring-style across the configured scope. The terms crypto and bitcoin match Bitcoin and crypto trends in 2026.
  • Multiple keywords on one filter are OR-combined: any one match flags the item.
  • Multiple filter rows compose: an item is flagged if any active filter matches.

What a matched item looks like​

Matched items are stored with the filtered flag set. They do not appear on the public news page or in the ticker. They appear in the AdminCP items list with the Filtered state, where you can review them and toggle them visible if a filter caught a false positive.

Matched items are pruned by Retention period for flagged items.

Removing a filter​

Deleting a filter removes the row but does not retroactively clear the filtered flag on existing items. To re-evaluate, find the items in the AdminCP and click Show on each, or wait for the flagged-retention window to prune them.
