Select Document Tags

Posted by Community Admin on 13-Apr-2011 00:00

Hello,

I am having a difficulty.

I currently select a list of documents from a library like this.

/// <summary>

/// Selects a list of documents for the user to view

/// </summary>

/// <returns>A list of conformed contract documents</returns>

public static IEnumerable<Document> SelectUserDocuments(string libraryName)

LibrariesManager libraryManager = LibrariesManager.GetManager();

IEnumerable<Document> docs = libraryManager.GetDocumentLibraries()

.Where(dL => dL.Title == libraryName)

.First()

.Documents

.Where(d => d.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

.OrderBy(o => (string)o.Title);

return docs;

// SelectUserDocuments

I upload documents to a library like this.

/// <summary>

/// Uploads the selected document to the CDRLs library

/// </summary>

/// <param name="sender">Sender</param>

/// <param name="e">Event Args</param>

protected void UploadButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

int count = DocumentUpload.UploadedFiles.Count;

string

[] allowedTypes = Properties.Resources.DocumentAllowedFileExtensions.Split(Properties.Resources.DelimiterComma.ToCharArray());

string error = String.Empty;

if (count > 0)

foreach (UploadedFile file in DocumentUpload.UploadedFiles)

bool properFile = false;

foreach (string allowedExtension in allowedTypes)

if (file.GetExtension() == allowedExtension)

properFile = true;

if (properFile == true)

// declare the document file and its properties

var manager = new LibrariesManager();

Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document uploadDocument = manager.CreateDocument();

uploadDocument.Parent = manager.GetDocumentLibraries().Where(dl => dl.Title == Properties.Resources.DocumentsLibraryName_CDRLs).First();

uploadDocument.Title = file.GetNameWithoutExtension();

uploadDocument.UrlName = file.GetNameWithoutExtension();

uploadDocument.Extension = file.GetExtension();

uploadDocument.Status = Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Master;

manager.RecompileItemUrls<Telerik.Sitefinity.Libraries.Model.Document>(uploadDocument);

// upload the document file

manager.Upload(uploadDocument, file.InputStream, file.GetExtension());

// publish the document file

uploadDocument.ApprovalWorkflowState = Properties.Resources.PublishedWorkflowState;

manager.Publish(uploadDocument);

manager.SaveChanges();

SystemMessage.Text = SitefinityCommon.BuildSuccessMessage(Properties.Resources.CDRLs_UploadSuccess);

else

SystemMessage.Text = SitefinityCommon.BuildErrorMessage(Properties.Resources.CDRLs_UploadError_BadType + Properties.Resources.DocumentAllowedFileExtensions_Friendly);

//refresh table

RefreshDocumentsTable();

else

SystemMessage.Text = SitefinityCommon.BuildErrorMessage(Properties.Resources.CDRLs_UploadError_NoFiles);

// UploadButton_Click

Recently, I have discovered new requirements that require additional information for each document. Basically, each document needs to have a tag, category, or custom field with data associated with it

For instance, in the first code example, what I want is something like another property for each document. Example, if the first code snip returned a list of 12 documents, 7 of them could have a tag (or something similar) that was equal to "Special".

How can I access the tag for returned documents.

Additionally, how can I set the tag for uploaded documents?

Thanks

Hi,1. How can I access the tag for returned documents. - you can pass the tag name and then get the tag Id (alternatively you can get the Id straight from the sf_taxa table in the DB. Once you get the Id you can select the documents that have this Id associated with the tags field like this:

var taxManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

var taxon = taxManager.GetTaxa<FlatTaxon>().Where(t => t.Name == "tag").Single();

var taxonID = taxon.Id;

var content = App.WorkWith().Documents().Where(d => ((IList<Guid>)d.GetValue("Tags")).Contains(taxonID)).Get();

2. How can I set the tag for uploaded documents - can you, please, take a look at this page from our Developers Guide.
