Member	kentico-2622.co - 2/8/2010 3:30:24 PM Display document category name? Hi guys, This is going to sound like a really silly question, but, how do I display the category(ies) that a document is part of? i.e. The categories that I have selected for this document. Thanks in advance


Member	kentico-2622.co - 2/9/2010 3:32:16 AM RE:Display document category name? Just for clarification I would like to be able to display the category for the document inside a transformation. Any ideas?

RE:Display document category name?

Hello,

To display the categories on the site you can use the webpart described here.
If you want to display it in a transformation you need to create a custom transformation function which would get the datafrom the database. I would suggest you to take a look at the webpart and get the data the same way as the webpart. For more information about custom transformation functions please see this link.

Best regards,

RE:Display document category name?

Hello.

You can use following method for this purpose: CMS.SiteProvider.CategoryInfoProvider.GetDocumentCategories(Int32, String, String)

1. parameter is documentID, 2. parameter is where condition and 3. parameter is orderBy expression.
This method returns all categories the document is a member of.

DocumentID you can get:
A. In document´s Properties -> General tab, NodeID.
B. In database, CMS_Document table.
C. Using API (for current document): CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentID;

This approach can be used also in your transformation, if you use this code in custom function in transformation.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik
