ASSET.CHILDTYPES

Builds a list of asset types that are children of this asset.

Syntax

<ASSET.CHILDTYPES
		NAME="asset name"
      [TYPE="parent assettype"] 
      [OBJECTID="parent assetid"] 
      LIST="list name"  />

Parameters

NAME (required unless type and objectid supplied)

Name of previously loaded asset.

TYPE (required if name is not used)

Input. Asset type of the parent asset whose children you want to list. Either type+objectid or name must be supplied to identify the parent asset.

OBJECTID (required if name is not used)

Input. Asset id of the parent asset whose children you want to list. Either type+objectid or name must be supplied to identify the parent asset.

LIST (required)

Name of asset type list. The list includes the asset type in the OTYPE field.

Description

The ASSET.CHILDTYPE tag helps to improve performance. For example, you can loop through the asset types and use an ASSET.LOADALL tag for each asset type to load all the children.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value	Description
-10004	A required parameter is missing.
-10005	The requested object is not in the object pool (is not loaded into memory).

Example

This example lists the name field of all child assets of myArticle.

<ASSET.LOAD NAME="myArticle" OBJECTID="123456789012"/>
<ASSET.CHILDTYPES  NAME="myArticle" LIST="assettypes"/>
<LOOP LIST="assettypes">
       <ASSET.CHILDREN NAME="myArticle" OBJECTTYPE="assettypes.otype" LIST="childList"/>
       <ASSET.LOADALL TYPE="assettypes.otype" PREFIX="child" LIST="childList"/>
		 <SETCOUNTER NAMe="nthChild" VALUE="0">
		 <LOOP COUNT="Variables.child:Total">
		 		<ASSET.GET NAME="childCounters.nthChild" FIELD="name"/>
		 		<STRING.STREAM VARIABLE="name"/> <br/>
		 		<INCCOUNTER NAME="nthChild" VALUE="1">
		 </LOOP>
</LOOP>

This example does the same thing without loading any assets.

<ASSET.CHILDTYPES  TYPE="Article" OBJECTID="123456789012" LIST="assettypes"/>
<LOOP LIST="assettypes">
       <ASSET.CHILDREN TYPE="Article" ASSETID="123456789012" OBJECTTYPE="assettypes.otype" LIST="childList"/>
		 <LOOP LIST="childList">
 	 		<STRING.STREAM LIST="childList" COLUMN="name"/> <br/>
		 </LOOP>
</LOOP>
