Run query through web part

Sathish Kannan asked on June 1, 2016 16:30

I just want to run a query through web part to check the documents count for each menu. Here is my scenario,

When user clicks on image, he will be navigated to sub page which displays the documents related to the clicked one.

What I need to do is, if there is no documents available, I need to hide the image.

Hide if no records is not going to work here. Any other solution to reach this

You can write a custom query that will return the documents and the count. In your transformation, add the count to the html tag as a data-item or something, then you can use javascript to hide the image if the count is 0.

select count(*) as Count, ##COLUMNS## from CMS_Documents where ##WHERE## Order by ##ORDERBY##

Thanks much!

This helps me to get entire count. Is it possible to get counts in document name specific.

For example, I have 10 documents under Malaysian food menus and 30 documents under Chinese food menus.,

So, when I write custom query in my transformation, it should give me the count in specific to document name.

I tried, but it was not working. And ideas pls
