Filter on custom modules - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Hello,

I have made a custom module, while looking at the reference code I found how to filter based on the URL name.

DynamicContent produktenNachLokationen = dynamicModuleManager.GetDataItems(produktenNachLokationType).Where("UrlName = \"" + locationName + "\"").First();

What I would like to do now is filter directly on a custom classification (name; Locations, type; Simple list) is this also possible?

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick -

You need to get get the ID of the Taxonomy you wish to retrieve your records by and pass that in with your query. Here is an example:

1.var taxonomy = TaxonomyManager.GetManager().GetTaxonomies<FlatTaxonomy>().Where(

2. t => t.Name == "Region").Single().Taxa.Where(

3. t => t.Title == this.Region).SingleOrDefault();

1.DynamicContent produktenNachLokationen = dynamicModuleManager.GetDataItems(produktenNachLokationen)

2. .Where(x => x.UrlName == new Lstring(locationName) &&

3. x.GetValue<IList<Guid>>("Region").Equals(taxonomy.Id)).FirstOrDefault();

You'll also need to include the Taxonomy namespaces and the GetValue extension which is located in Telerik.Sitefinity.Model.

1.using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies;

2.using Telerik.Sitefinity.Taxonomies.Model;

3.using Telerik.Sitefinity.Model;

Though, I haven't used any modules built with the module builder. All my modules are custom. But I'd venture to guess this is the same either way. Hope this helps you out!

Cheers,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Thanks for helping! Your code seems to work just fine. The only thing is, the result set contains all module items twice! Any idea why that is?
Kind regards, Tys

Hi Tys -

No worries! It's pulling all the versions of the content. Try filtering by the live items. The where clause would look like this:

.Where(x => x.UrlName == new Lstring(locationName) && x.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)

Cheers,
Josh
