GetItemList in DW 8

Hi guys,

I know it's a bit old school, but I need a decent way to get the content of an ItemRelation list that is set on the PageItem.

I can get the ID of the page, I can probably get the Item for that page but I don't know how to get the ItemRelation list content.

Searching through the DW8 API is not very straight forward. I am thinking somebody else must've been stumbled on this thing before :)

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

If you take a look at Rizzo for DW8 sources, you should find an example for social networks (which were a list in the website settings). The code is in the Master.cshtml template directly in the design folder.

You can find that in the Rizz8 branch in our GitHub account. Here's a quick example

@foreach (var socialItem in GetLoop("Item.Area.SocialNetworks"))

{

// YOUR CODE HERE

}

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best Regards,

Hi Nuno,

Thank you,

Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to GetLoop becuase I can't access the Item object directly.

All I have is a page ID. I have to get the Item for that page and then the ItemRelation list id and for that listID I need a loop of Items.

Hi Adrian

Then I don't remember of how we did that. If remember correctly on the Item you'd get a comma splitted value of ID's and you had to use GetItemById on each iteration of that value after splitting it by commas.

Hi Nuno,

That's what I recall as well.

I was hoping there will be a Method that will render the list without so much trouble.

Anyway, I ended up with a direct query to the database instead.

Less friction :)

Thank you,

Adrian
