Filer Content by Site and Category

kriton — Fri, 04 May 2012 08:20:50 GMT

I've found webscripts that allow me to search content by category, but I also want to filter by site as well.I.e get a json output of all content within a site tagged as a specific category.Is there any available for that that I have missed or should I create my own. Thanks

Going into the search page for a specific site in Share, opening up my web console in my browser, and executing search for each of the three options (this site, all sites, entire repository), I can see the different web scripts that are used. They are:

This specific site:
[09:17:16.530] GET http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/search?site=test-site-1&term=test&tag=&maxResults=251&sort=&query=&repo=false [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 133ms]

Note the "site" argument.

All sites:
[09:17:56.520] GET http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/search?site=&term=test&tag=&maxResults=251&sort=&query=&repo=false [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 173ms]

The "site" argument is empty and "repo" is set to false.

Entire repository:
[09:18:50.451] GET http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/search?site=&term=test&tag=&maxResults=251&sort=&query=&repo=true [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 272ms]

The "site" argument is empty and "repo" is set to true.

Does this help?

Unfortunately this does not help me much as it does not allow me to filter by a specific category.

And I dont want to search by a term. I want to get all results under a specific category found on a specific site.

I've found that I can get content taged under a specific category like this:

http://localhost:8080/share/service/components/documentlibrary/data/doclist/all/site/ise/documentLibrary?filter=category&filterData=/Client/Audi

However it seems that when passing this filter, the path part of the webscript will be completely ignored. I modified the webscript so that filtered searches are further filtered to match the site given in the path… so I got it working… but there may have been an enterily easier solution to this.

How about using Alfresco FTS syntax instead. Both categories and paths use the PATH keyword. So, searching for something in a given category and a given folder path would just AND the terms together. For example, the following would find documents categorized under English and that reside in test-site-1.

PATH:"/cm:categoryRoot/cm:generalclassifiable/cm:Languages/cm:English/member" AND PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:test-site-2/cm:documentLibrary//*"

Running that through the search web script would look like:


[09:56:22.824] GET http://localhost:8080/share/proxy/alfresco/slingshot/search?site=&term=PATH%3A%22%2Fcm%3AcategoryRoot%2Fcm%3Ageneralclassifiable%2Fcm%3ALanguages%2Fcm%3AEnglish%2Fmember%22%20AND%20PATH%3A%22%2Fapp%3Acompany_home%2Fst%3Asites%2Fcm%3Atest-site-3%2Fcm%3AdocumentLibrary%2F%2F*%22&tag=&maxResults=251&sort=&query=&repo=false [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 91ms]‍‍
