Get Element by element name?

[suzan...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to get the element of page by its name? I was browsing through the SmartAPI library and it doesn't look like there's any methods available for it. Please advise.

If not - is it possible to get a full list of all elements in a specific page?

You can access elements by name like this:

IPage myPage = …;

IPageElement element = myPage[“myElementName”];

 

If you know the element type and want to access type specific properties/methods, you can just cast it, e.g.

ITextHtml element = (ITextHtml)myPage[“myHtmlTextElement”];

Additionally, if you want to get lists of alle elements, you can also access them through

IPage.ContentElements and IPage.LinkElements

Thank you Jonas, this works perfectly!

Can you please advice how what I am supposed to pass in as a the parameter for the page.Create method? How would I pass through the IContentClass? I tried passing through the template guid but it did not work.

Regards,

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

 

you need to fetch the content class object and user that as parameter.

E.g.

IProject project = …;

IContentClass cc1 = Project.ContentClasses.GetByName(“MyCC1”);

IContentClass cc2 = Project.ContentClasses.GetByGuid(…);

 

IPage newPage1 = project.Pages.Create(cc1);

IPage newPage2 = project.Pages.Create(cc2, “New Headline”);

 

If you want to, you can also create and connect a page with a single command: project.Pages.CreateAndConnect :

Thanks Jonas.

What would be the best way to return the page guid for the newly created page?

[Jonas Jacobi]

IPage newPage1 = project.Pages.Create(cc1);

newPage1.Guid
