Jean-Vincent, Thanks. Seems that the line: #set($class = $bentrydoc.getObject("XWiki.ArticleClass").xWikiClass) seemed to cause the $class not to get set and "$bentrydoc.display($prop.name,"view", $class)" not to evaluate and just got displayed on the page - removing ".xWikiClass" solved the problem i.e. #set($class = $bentrydoc.getObject("XWiki.ArticleClass")) Was ".xWikiClass" just a typo? Also "<td> *${prop.prettyName}* </td>" didn't evaluate and just got displayed on the page! So my working code is now: #set ($list = $xwiki.search("select doc.fullName from XWikiDocument doc, BaseObject obj, StringProperty prop where doc.fullName=obj.name and obj.className='XWiki.ArticleClass' and prop.id.id=obj.id and prop.name='title' and prop.value like 'Art%'", 5, 0)) #foreach ($item in $list) #set($bentrydoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item)) #set($class = $bentrydoc.getObject("XWiki.ArticleClass")) $bentrydoc.name <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <tr> <td> *${prop.name}* </td> <td> $bentrydoc.display($prop.name,"view", $class) </td> </tr> #end </table> #end I might try your refactored code as well - thank :) Regards, Richard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Jean-Vincent Drean Sent: 10 October 2007 09:58 To: XWiki Developers Subject: Re: [xwiki-devs] Ref: Displaying lists of wiki pages given a set of criteria 2007/10/9, goldring, richard <[email protected]>:

Remember that you'll get only the 5 first results with this call : http://build.xpertnet.biz/latestdoc/api/com/xpn/xwiki/api/XWiki.html#search( java.lang.String,%20int,%20int) from : http://build.xpertnet.biz/latestdoc/api/com/xpn/xwiki/api/package-summary.ht ml

#foreach ($item in $list) #set($bentrydoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item))

#set($class = $bentrydoc.getObject("XWiki.ArticleClass").xWikiClass) $bentrydoc.name <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <tr> <td> *${prop.prettyName}* </td> <td>Value: $doc.display($prop.value)</td> <--- this line! </tr> #end </table>

While you know the type of the object you want to display you don't have to use the xWikiClass (which is privileged API). You can consult the list of the class properties at : /xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/ArticleClass?editor=class (class editor, accessible from the top menu). I'd refactor your snippet like this : #foreach ($item in $list) #set($bdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item)) $bdoc.title <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td> *Title* </td> <td>$bdoc.display("title")</td> </tr> <tr> <td> *Category* </td> <td>$bdoc.display("category")</td> </tr> <tr> <td> *Content* </td> <td>$bdoc.display("content")</td> </tr> </table> #end JV. _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs Thales UK Ltd (Wells) DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.
