Channels.FilterByHidden does not find hidden channels
|
|
| Microsoft 2005-05-23, 5:53 pm |
| I have created a hidden channel in which users can publish news articles.
These are then rendered by a user control which finds a channel with a
specific custom property and renders a summary about each of its postings.
The reason the channel is hidden is so that it is not visible in the
navigation.
I am trying to retrieve the channels but cannot get the hidden channel on
the published site. I am specifically setting Channels.FilterByHidden(true).
(EXample code below)
However, it seems that this only filters Postings and not channels, despite
the documentation.saying it filters Channel Items.
So, how do I get a listing of all child channels, including those that are
hidden?
Code:
public static Channel GetChildChannelByPropertyName(Channel channel, string
PropertyName, string PropertyValue)
{
Channel currentChannel = channel;
//check that we are not already at the required channel
CustomProperty currentProperty =
currentChannel.CustomProperties[PropertyName];
if (currentProperty != null)
{
if (String.Compare(currentProperty.Value, PropertyValue, true) == 0)
{
//We have a match on the custom property
//return the currentChannel
return currentChannel;
}
}
//iterate through the hidden child channels until we find a match
ChannelCollection childChannels = channel.Channels;
//Ensure that we see the Hidden channels
childChannels.FilterByHidden(true);
for (int i = 0; i < childChannels.Count; i++)
{
currentChannel = childChannels[i];
currentProperty = currentChannel.CustomProperties[PropertyName];
if (currentProperty != null)
{
if (String.Compare(currentProperty.Value, PropertyValue, true) == 0)
{
//We have a match on the custom property
//return the currentChannel
return currentChannel;
}
}
}
//No Matching channel found so return a null
return null;
}

| Hi Dirk,
you need to set CmsHttpContext.Current.SessionSettings.AutoFilterHidden =
false.
After you are finished you need to set this back to true;
Cheers,
Stefan
