Hi,

How do I get the data of a page (item)?

I now we can get the TopPageID, but I need the data of that page. Is there a way to reference a page by ID and get all of the data?

Hi Nuno

Something like this:

var page = Dynamicweb.Frontend.Page.FindPage(123);
page.Value("PageMenuText");
page.ID;
page.AreaID;

You can get a Dynamicweb.Frontend.Page (same type as Pageview.Page in Razor) or a Dynamicweb.Content.Page using the Dynamicweb API in Razor:

@Dynamicweb.Frontend.Page.FindPage(pageId)
@Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(pageId)

Best regards,

Hi Nicolai and Mikkel,

Great answers both of you. This info should be in the Razor manual ;) Seems like basic info for frontend developers without VisualStudio and/or .NET knowledge

Hi Guys,

I still can't get this to work. Am I the bug, or is there another :P Check out in attach the template.

I cannot get @Dynamicweb.Content.Page.GetPageById(pageId) to work, only FindPage method

I cannot get the TopPageID either, using a hardcoded value for the time being

How will I get the item values (filelds) for this page?

Try using it like this:

@{
var topPageId = (int)Pageview.Area.get_Value("AreaFirstActivePage");
var topPage = Dynamicweb.Frontend.Page.FindPage(topPageId);
}

@topPage.AreaID
@topPage.ID
@topPage.get_Value("PageMenuText")

Best regards,
Mikkel

Hi Mikkel,

That worked but not when I need to make a few adjustments. I tried looking into the documentation with no luck :(

What I need is a ParentPage's Item value. This is what I tried, but DW does not tell me where the error is:

@{
var parentPageId = (int)Pageview.Page.get_Value("PageParentID");
var parentPage = Dynamicweb.Frontend.Page.FindPage(parentPageId);
}
 
@parentPage.AreaID
@parentPage.ID
@parentPage.get_Value("Item_System_Name")
// The parent Page is an Item (Page as Item) - Does it have any influence in the API?

Also, how could we know all of the possibilities under "get_Value"?

Can you help?

Nuno

Does Dynamicweb report an error or does your code simply not work as intended?

You can get a list of keys for use in get_Value like this:

<pre>
@foreach (System.Collections.DictionaryEntry e in topPage.Values) {
    @: @e.Key: @e.Value
}
</pre>
