Documents[] Macro

Can someone please explain me what the number which you can pass in the Documents[] macro mean? I thought it is a DocumentID, but it doesn't work like that (doesn't return Document based on ID if I pass correct DocumentID).
I can pass a path in Documents to get some node, for example this will return root document:

{% Documents["/"] %}

Just in case - I see that in Kentico 7. Path string works just fine.

RE:Documents[] Macro

Hey, sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm talking particularly about 'Documents' macro. As long as I know it takes two parameters - string and number. String should be a nodealiaspath so that you can retrieve particular node. I assumed that number would be a nodeid, but it looks like it is something else as it didn't work in my case (see example above when I tried to get root node using id 1, but got some other node).
So I'm trying to find out what number parameter 'means' for 'Documents' macro, what 'Documents' macro expects it to be. It is not nodeid, right? Then what it is?


Kentico Support	kentico_radekm - 11/1/2012 7:39:27 AM RE:Documents[] Macro Hello. I tried to debug it but when I used second parameter in Documents[] object, it says that an indexer can have only one parameter. Could you please clarify where you can see that second parameter? I am not quite sure about it at the moment. Thank you. Best Regards, Radek Macalik

Certified Developer v6	szarouski - 11/1/2012 8:23:31 AM RE:Documents[] Macro Sorry for confusion again, I re-read what I wrote: As long as I know it takes two parameters - string and number Should be: As long as I know it takes either string or number


Kentico Support	kentico_radekm - 11/9/2012 7:49:44 AM RE:Documents[] Macro Hello. When you use string, it's node alias path of the given TreeNode. When you use an integer number, it's order (index number) of the given TreeNode in the TreeNodeCollection. Best Regards, Radek Macalik
