Get Document by URL in macro

Hi Mateusz,

Yes this is possible, you can use this macro {% Documents["NodeAliasPath"].DocumentName |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

Or create an custom macro, advantage of creating your own macro is that you have more control on the code and queries behind it. Because an macro with WithAllData is not efficient.

Here some documentation for creating custom Macros and using the Kentico API for getting the correct value. Registering custom macro methods Working with documents in the API

Good luck with developing!

If this answer helped you, please vote for my answer :-)

Expression:

{% Documents["NodeAliasPath"].DocumentName |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

works good. But WithAllData have no effect. Is it possible to solve this using Transformation Methods?

Hi Mateusz, are you sure that you use the right field name and that this is filled?

I tested this {% Documents.WithAllData["/Home"].GetValue("NodeID") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%} without any problems.

You can also have a look in the Event log if you see a error.

Good morning Mateusz, If you use Kentico 8+ you can also test the macro easily in the Macro console. You can find the Macro console in "System -> Macros -> Console"

Well I didn't write it but I'm using Kentico 7. Anyway I search in documentation but I can't find anything about Documents[AliasPath] or Documnets.WithAllData. Could you give me a link where i can read about it?

Hi Mateusz,

Here is an example in the documentation of Kentico 7 of the macro I described: Transformations in macro expressions

And here is an question on Devnet with a similar issue and similar answer by Jan Hermann from Kentico support : http://devnet.kentico.com/questions/getting-custom-fields-in-hierarchical-viewer-menu-transformation

Hello Mateusz, and is it working?

I used other solution. Just configured another repeater. Thank for help anyway.
