So I am pretty new to Sitecore, and I seem to have gotten myself into an issue that I cant solve or google ;)
So I have an item, this Item has a treelist, and that treelist has a datasource "Products". Now this works fine, the issue is that I only want the items (products) displayed in my treelist, where the Product Category is "Shoes".
The Product template has a Multilist named "Categories", so i would like a query, that evaluated if one of the Categories is "Shoes" if so, include the Product in my Treelist, if not exclude it.
Can it be done with a query or do I need to do some actual code to get that result?
Any help would be much appriciated.
You can use Sitecore's fast query in source field of template field as below:
Using contains:
fast:/sitecore/content/Home/Products//*[contains(#Categories = 'IdOfShoesItem')]
Using like:
fast:/sitecore/content/Home/Products//*[#Categories = '%IdOfShoesItem%']
On older sitecore version fast query does not work, in those cases replace "fast" with "query" like below:
query:/sitecore/content/Home/Products//*[#Categories = '%IdOfShoesItem%']

I am using a sitecore query in a source for a field Subsidiary:
/sitecore/content/Home/Organization/descendant::*[##templateid='{8BE84E6C-CAA3-4D03-9FD2-B95B89A7DDE0}']
Field Type is : Droplist
So in When I see the item which is based on the above template and I click on the field, I don't see any thing.
You can also see the images for more detail.
This is template where I am giving the above query in the source.
This is what I see on the item in the field Subsidiary
You need to prefix your xpath with query:
query:/sitecore/content/Home/Organization/descendant::*[##templateid='{8BE84E6C-CAA3-4D03-9FD2-B95B89A7DDE0}']
You can also use the shorthand for descendant:::
query:/sitecore/content/Home/Organization//*[##templateid='{8BE84E6C-CAA3-4D03-9FD2-B95B89A7DDE0}']
I have two fields that run throughout a website that I would like to match so that when a user inputs a value either of the fields, it will match the other field. I'm using Sitecore Rocks and am trying to use a query to do this.
select ##h1#, ##Title#
from /sitecore/Content/Home//*[##h1# !="##Title#"];
update set ##h1# = ##Title# from /sitecore/Content/Home//*[##Title# = "<id>"];
What am I missing here?
This article talks about tapping in to the item:saving event which allows you to compare the fields values of the item before and after the changes:
http://www.sitecore.net/Community/Technical-Blogs/John-West-Sitecore-Blog/Posts/2010/11/Intercepting-Item-Updates-with-Sitecore.aspx
Using this, you can determine which field has been amended, then change the other to match.
I've had to do something similar to this when a new field was added, and we wanted to set the initial value equal to an existing field. It may be a bug in Sitecore Rocks, but I found it would only update a field when a static value was part of the query.
When I ran ##h1# = ##Title#, the query analyzer would return the correct number of items updated, but no values were actually updated. However, ##h1# = '<id>' worked perfectly. After trying a number of things, I found this did what I wanted.
update set ##h1# = '' + ##Title# from /sitecore/Content/Home//*[##Title# = "<id>"];
I hope that helps.
Is there a way by using XPath Builder under Developer Center inside Sitecore Shell (a Fast Query interface) to select a particular attribute from an item. Example:
/sitecore/content/Home/Products/*[##templatename = 'Product Group']/#id
I would expect to see a collection of id's to be returned where id is an attribute of an item. If yes is it possible to extract an attribute with a space bar? Example:
/sitecore/content/Home/Products/*[##templatename = 'Product Group']/#more info
EDIT
The thing that I want to achieve is to get a collection of items (I have few hounded items here), not one particular item. That's why I am not interested in adding additional conditions, like specific item id or title. I want to see a collection of values of a specific attribute. As in example showed above, I want to see a collection of values that are assign to 'more info' attribute. Once again I am expecting to see few hounded different values that are set to 'more info' attribute.
EDIT2
There is a problem with a production, a critical stuff. There is no access to it other then thru Sitecore shell, but I don't have permissions to add/install additional packages. I know how to get this info by implementing custom code, or queering db directly, but I simply do not have permission to do it. Guys that will be able to grant me need credentials will wake up in 6 hours, so I was hoping to do whatever I can to analyse the situation. I would accept Maras answer if it was an answer not a comment - there is no way I can do it using fast query. thanks for help.
Try using #
/sitecore/content/Home/Products/*[##templatename = 'Product Group']/##more info#
This is the way around when selecting items with fields that contain spaces. Having said that I don't know if you would be able to get a specific result or not for your specific question but give it a try.
For example, consider this query which returns Product S1
fast:/sitecore/content/home/*[#Title = 'Item 1' and ##templatename = 'Product Group1']//*[#Title = 'Product S1' and ##id = '{787EE6C5-0885-495D-855E-1D129C643E55}']
However, if you place the special attribute (i.e. ##id) at the beginning of the condition, the query will not return a result.
fast:/sitecore/content/home/*[##templatename = 'Product Group1' and #Title = 'Product S1']//*[##id = '{787EE6C5-0885-495D-855E-1D129C643E55}' and #Title = 'Product S1']
Remember this, Sitecore Fast Query only supports the following special attributes:
##id
##name
##key
##templateid
##templatename
##templatekey
##masterid
##parentid
Let us know if this helps.
am Using Apex4.1,
in my application I have one Tabular form which has the following fields,
Emp_id
Emp_name
Dept_id
Here Emp_id is the Updatable column and it is a select list LOV and
Emp_name is a upadatable column,
Here what I need is,
If I select the Emp_id from the LOV ,the Emp_Name should be stored automatically based
on the value selected in EMP_ID,
In tabular form I could not create Dynamic action like creating in normal forms,
Can anyone help me in this issue?
Thank you.
APEX does not currently provide dynamic actions on tabular form items. Hopefully this may be addressed in APEX 4.2 but the Statement of Direction does not explicitly say so.
So for now if you need to do this you will have to write your own Javascript, using the unique IDs of the tabular form items to manipulate them (the IDs look like "fcc_rrrr" where "cc" is the column number and "rrrr" is the row number). See this SO q&q for sample Javascript code that uses these.
The Javascript you need to write is a little daunting (for a beginner), but one thing to note is that in your case you can avoid any need for using AJAX to get the employee name by embedding the name in the return value of the LOV something like this:
select emp_name d, emp_id||':'||emp_name r
from employee
order by 1
This way the return values will look like '123:John Smith'; your Javascript can parse this string and extract 'John Smith' and insert it into the emp_name item on the same row. Obviously you will also need to parse this string to obtain the emp_id value you will need when updating the database when the page is submitted.
Recently i have implemented django-sphinx search on my website.
It is working fine of each separate model.
But now my client requirement has changed.
To implement that functionality i need field name to whom search is made.
suppose my query is:
"select id, name,description from table1"
and search keyword is matched with value in field "name". So i need to return that field also.
Is it possible to get field name or any method provided by django-sphinx which return field name.
Please help me...
As far as I know, this isn't possible. You might look at the contents of _sphinx though.
Well from django-sphinx it might not be possible. But there is a solution -
Make different indexes, each index specifying the field that you need to search.
In your django-sphinx models while searching do this -
search1 = SphinxSearch(index='index1')
search2 = SphinxSearch(index='index2')
...
After getting all the search results, you aggregate them & you have the info of from where they have come.
