Hello,

I've created a content class, with a few attributes. One of the attributes is an identifier.

From the PHP code, I'm trying to retrieve a content object based on its identifier (as I have neither it's content object ID, nor its node ID).

 
 
     $objAttr = eZContentObjectAttribute::fetchByIdentifier($buf['identifier']);
 
         if ($objAttr !== null)
         {
             $myContentObject = eZContentObject::fetch($objAttr->ContentObjectID);

My problem is that when I have content objects in the trash with the same identifier as 'live' objects, the fetchByIdentifier retrieves these trashed objects.

How can I avoid that ? And is there a more efficient method to retrieve my content object with only one fetch ?

Thanks

David

Hi,

you could use the same function which is used for content tree /list fetch in templates

 $NodeList = eZFunctionHandler::execute( 'content', 'tree', 
  array(
    'parent_node_id'     => 2,
    'limit'              => 500, 
    'class_filter_type'  => 'include',                                                                        
    'class_filter_array' => array( 'article' ),
     'depth'              => 5
  ) );

All paramaters you will find here

You have to add an attribute_filter to filter your objects of your class by attribute.

Hope this will help

Cheers Felix

Thanks Felix!

I've got the following piece of code, that seems to work. Is this not possible to accomplish this with only one fetch?

                     $NodeList = eZFunctionHandler::execute( 'content', 'tree', 
                    array(
                        'parent_node_id'     => 2,
                        'limit'              => 1, 
                        'class_filter_type'  => 'include',                                                                        
                        'class_filter_array' => array( 'mycontentclass' ),
                        'depth'              => 5,
                        'attribute_filter'   => array('and', array('mycontentclass/myidentifier', '=', $buf['identifier']))
                    ) );
 
                if(count($NodeList) >0)
                    {
                        $node = $NodeList[0];
                        $myContentObject = eZContentObject::fetch($node->ContentObjectID);
                    }

Thanks

David

Hello,

try this:

$myContentObject = $NodeList[0]->object();
