Iterating over Page Names

I'm trying to iterate over the page names and print the page names and their child pages as they appear on my "Page Screen" but I can't seem to find the method in the PageData Object to return all the page names. Heres my code. 

PageManager pm = new PageManager();

IQueryable<PageData> pd = pm.GetPageDataList();

var tmp = pd;

foreach (PageData pageData in tmp)

Response.Write(pageData.HtmlTitle.ToString());

Hello Jon,

You can use the fluent API

I'm trying to iterate over it and it does not return the page names. It returns a bunch of other non-related strings. Please see code below :

var pages = App.WorkWith().Pages().Get().ToList();

foreach (PageNode pn in pages)

    Response.Write(pn.Name);

Hi Jon,

Here is the code that you have to use

I attached two screenshots that illustrates the pages structure.

Thanks alot for the code and screen shots however, the code below does not compile

var

root = Config.Get<PagesConfig>().FrontendRootNode;

//get the FrontendRootNode as PageNode

var pgs = App.WorkWith().Pages().Where(pk => pk.Name == root).Get().SingleOrDefault() as PageNode;

// loop through all nodes are show the data.

foreach (PageNode page1 in pgs.Nodes)

var htmlTitle = page1.Page.HtmlTitle;

var pageTitle = page1.Page.Title;

Error : The name Config does not exist in the current context
Error : Type or Namespace PagesConfig could not be found
Error : The best overloaded method match for 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Fluent.Pages.PagesFacade.Where(System.Func<Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model.PageNode,bool>)' has some invalid arguments

I must be missing an assembly reference. What is the assembly I'm missing ?

Also, I hate to ask you to write this for me but I'm confused. I need to populate a RadTree with the same 'view' as the pages screen. This means I need Parent/Child relationships in the code to make my RadTree mimic the pages screen with page names. Do you have code for this ? I would really appreciate it. The API is a little tricky so ....

 

Hello Jon,

The intelliesense should show you which reference to add when you hover on the Config helper class

You should have the following references

• Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages.Configuration
• Telerik.Sitefinity.Configuration

Hi Ivan,

          I tried hovering over it and my intellisense didn't bring it up for some reason. I'm using VS 2010 too. Anyway, thanks my code compiles and I can now see all the pages except for child pages. I was wondering if you could give me the code to display child pages as well. I need to know when it's a child page too as I'm populating a RadTree with the page value names with the same hierarchy as it appears in the Pages screen. Could you supply me with the code to accomplish this?
Regards,
jon

Hello Jon,

You can use RadTreeView control and bind it to SiteMapDataSource. You can do this even from the UI by dropping both the controls on a page and setting SiteMapDataSource control ID to the SiteMapDataSourceID property of the RadTreeView control.

All the best,

Hi Ivan,

        I still need to know how to programtically transverse Pages and child pages so I can populate my tree with Parent and Child page values. Can you give me the code for showing the child pages as well ? I need to know when its a child page so I can update my tree view with a Parent or Child value.

 Thanks in advance ,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Each node has a Parent property and Nodes property that you can use to search recursively.

Thank you so much  !

I have tried out the function however, list.Count returns a count of ZERO even if there are child pages. I'm not sure what to do .. Please see attached code. It's pretty simple.

Hello Jon,

Most probably "allpages" and enumeration that is executed there returns no. You can use VS debugger to narrow down the issue. This code returns correct values at my end.  Basically you have to properties that you have to use Parent and Nodes which will allow you to recursively get all pages and populate your control.

Hi Ivan,

     I'm using the function you gave me below however, the "allpages" call is returning a count of zero for children even when there are children. I even tried hard coding my GUID like below but still the function returns zero for children when there are obviously children on my pages screen. I've looked into the debugger and can't seem to find the problem. Please help me fix this as it is vital to my project. Please see code below. I'm even hard coding the GUID and it still returns zero for a count of children. If there is a bug in the API please let me know.

Hello Jon,

Try using the code below. I attached a short video that shows how it works.

Hi Ivan,

     Thanks it works fine now. I was passing in the Parent ID of the PageNode in wrong. I was passing in PageNode.Page.Id instead of PageNode.Id .. Anyway, it all works fine now.

Thanks again !!

Jon
