Files - Access to meta data

Hi, will you consider making a public API for accessing meta data on files? I need to render a list of files from within a template extender and include the meta data that has been added.

The existing API for file meta data is unfortunately marked as internal:

Dynamicweb.Content.Files.Metadata.EditorFactory.GetMetadataForFile(String) : Meta

If there are other ways to achieve this, please let me know ;)

Hi Morten,

 

Did you manage to access that information? I need to get it and I don't even know where it is stored.

The meta data are available when using the file publishing module.

 

I've made the parts of the API available that is required to access the data from code.

 

Will be out on 8.3, TFS#12473
