Apply custom classification to Dynamic Content Items
I have a Dynamic Content type that has two fields of type Classification, that correspond to custom classifications I've created. Using the API, how does one set the values for these classification fields?
I've tried it like so:
DynamicModuleManager dynamicModuleManager = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager(providerName);Type myContentType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.MyTypes.MyType");DynamicContent myItem = dynamicModuleManager.CreateDataItem(myContentType);var taxManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();var divTaxon = taxManager.GetTaxa<Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model.HierarchicalTaxon>().SingleOrDefault(t => t.Name == divName && t.Taxonomy.Name == "divisions");if (divTaxon != null) myItem.SetValue("Divisions", divTaxon.Id); dynamicModuleManager.SaveChanges();and like so:
DynamicModuleManager dynamicModuleManager = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager(providerName); Type myContentType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.MyTypes.MyType");DynamicContent myItem = dynamicModuleManager.CreateDataItem(myContentType);var taxManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();var divTaxon = taxManager.GetTaxa<Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model.HierarchicalTaxon>().SingleOrDefault(t => t.Name == divName && t.Taxonomy.Name == "divisions");if (divTaxon != null) var divlist = myItem.GetValue<TrackedList<Guid>>("Division"); divlist.Add(divTaxon.Id); myItem.SetValue("Division", divlist); dynamicModuleManager.SaveChanges();The first example runs fine, but when I look at my content in the UI, the classification field is not set. The second example (which I took from another forum post) throws an error.
Hello Michael,
You can set taxon via the AddTaxa method.
Example :
DynamicModuleManager dynamicModuleManager = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager(); Type myContentType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.Test.Test"); DynamicContent myItem = dynamicModuleManager.CreateDataItem(myContentType); var taxManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager(); var divTaxon = taxManager.GetTaxa<FlatTaxon>().Where(x => x.Name == "testTaxon").Single(); if (divTaxon != null) myItem.Organizer.AddTaxa("Tags", divTaxon.Id); dynamicModuleManager.SaveChanges();
