Re: metadata

this feature is only available in last cvs.
It's possible now to create container sorter with custom data provider ( like FileNameProvider or FileSizeProvider ) for a given field of each container to sort.

   ContainerSorterBean sorter = new ContainerSorterBean("directoryPeopleContainer",jParams,"directoryPeoplePicture",
    false, jParams.getEntryLoadRequest());
   
    sorter.setFieldValueProvider(new org.jahia.data.containers.containersorterfieldvalueproviderimpl.FileNameProvider());    


The template peoples.jsp of the corporate_portal_templates provide an example of sorting people by picture's file name or size.

    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
