Hi Guys,

I have a situation where I get a list of PageId's (from an ItemRelationList) and apart from the regular properties of the page, I need to also find valus of the custom properties that are set through the PageProperties ItemType.

So far, I have read the page object by using the API:

var relatedPage = Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(pageID);

And I can read the regular properties:

@relatedPage.MenuText

Assuming my custom property is called Page_Icon, how should I read the value of it?

I am using 8.9.1.13

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

You should be able to do something like this:

var pageIcon = relatedPage.PropertyItem == null ? null : relatedPage.PropertyItem["Page_Icon"];

I haven't tested the code, but hopefully you can use the idea of it :-)

 

Best regards, Anders

Thank you very much Anders.

That's what I needed. A head-start.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Anders,

At first glance, it looks like the PropertyItem is available only for PageView.

I have to dig deeper.

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

 

It should be available in the Page class: https://www.screencast.com/t/7QbwKcu4uWS

Hi Anders,

I have used Dynamicweb.Content instead of Dynamicweb.Frontend.

That's because Dynamicweb.Content seems to have the GetPageByID method that returns the Page object

And I am not sure if Dynamicweb.Frontend is available in DW8. At least I could not find it in the API or I did not know where to look for it.

Frontend.Page is ONLY available in DW8 - and it has a method called findpage(id) that you should use. It is faster than working on content.

Hi Guys,

Thank you very much.

I feel so stupid. The method was already in Anders's printscreen.

I have managed to make it work.

Thank you very much for your patience.

Adrian
