Re: metadata

is it about sorting containers to be displayed within a container list ?
If true, the org.jahia.data.containers.ContainerMetadataSorterBean class that extends ContainerSorterBean allows you  to sort containers on a specific metadata.


It works the same way ContainerSorterBean are used to sort containers on a specific container data field.

    sorry, it's the Jahia 5.0 beta 2 API ( the one in cvs ).
    If not, use "creator", "creationDate" or maybe you can update from last cvs.

        Hi,

        You can retrieve the list of metadatas as ContentFields for a given container list this way:

        List metadatas = jahiaContainer.getContentContainer().getMetadatas(); // list of ContentField metadata
        then for each ContentField :

        JahiaField jahiaField = contentField.getJahiaField(jParams.getEntryLoadRequest());
        jahiaField.load(LoadFlags.ALL,jParams); // fully load the field


        or given the name of a specific metadata , i.e the creator :

        JahiaField jahiaField =  jahiaContainer.getContentContainer().getMetadataAsJahiaField(CoreMetadataConstant.CREATOR,jParams);

        or a simplified way

        String creator = jahiaContainer.getContentContainer().getMetadataValue(CoreMetadataConstant.CREATOR,jParams,"unknown"); 


        Regards,

        Khue Nguyen
