| Question | Can you create a page pointing to all pages with a certain property value? |
| Answer |
I figured out that it's possible to do this using velocity script: * Get a list of documents using \$xwiki.searchDocuments(). This returns a list of document names in string format, not a list of document objects. * Iterate through the list using a \#foreach statement. For each result: ** use \$xwiki.getDocument($docname) to obtain the document object ** Then use the document.getObject(\$objectname) function to obtain the object you're interested in ** Finally use object.getProperty(\$propname).getValue() to obtain the value of the desired property, and use this to determine whether this document meets your criteria Note: I had some problems with set statements, because if you try to set a variable to a null object, it seems to retain it's old value? So when iterating over pages which might not have a certain object, be careful to check the property directly. |
