InCategories returns no results, query contains 0=1

Stephen D'Olier asked on July 11, 2018 12:35

Hi,

I have a custom page type, with a categories field type and categories selected.

In the CMS i see that the "test" category has multiple pages assigned to it.

i would like to get a list of documents with a given category selected.

when I run:

CustomPageProvider.GetCustomPages().InCategories("test").ToList()

I get a query like:

"SELECT *\r\nFROM View_CMS_Tree_Joined AS V WITH (NOLOCK, NOEXPAND) INNER JOIN custome_page AS C WITH (NOLOCK) ON [V].[DocumentForeignKeyValue] = [C].[AuthorID] AND V.ClassName = N'custome_page' LEFT OUTER JOIN COM_SKU AS S WITH (NOLOCK) ON [V].[NodeSKUID] = [S].[SKUID] nWHERE (([DocumentCanBePublished] = 1 AND ([DocumentPublishFrom] IS NULL OR [DocumentPublishFrom] <= @Now) AND ([DocumentPublishTo] IS NULL OR [DocumentPublishTo] >= @Now)) AND [DocumentCulture] = @DocumentCulture AND 0 = 1)"

note the 0=1 at the end.

Any ideas what i am doing wrong here. Or another way of doing this.

Cheers, Stephen

Hi Stephen,

If you do not specify site name in the query, it will look only for pages in global categories. If you added categories specific to the site, then you need to modify your query to look like this (you can replace hardcoded name of the site with CMS.SiteProvider.SiteContext.CurrentSiteName):

CustomPageProvider.GetCustomPages().OnSite("DancingGoat").InCategories("test").ToList()

To verify that you properly assigned your categories on the page, you can check it in 'Pages' application, on 'Categories' tab (under properties).

Best regards, Dragoljub

I would you DocumentHelper

// Get documents from Development category
var documents = DocumentHelper.GetDocuments("YourCustomPageType")
                              .OnSite("CorporateSite")
                              .InCategory("test");

Thanks Guys,

Adding OnSite to the query solved the problem.
