AssetGetSiteNode

Returns the node ID of the specified page asset.

Syntax

Parameters

authusername (required)
(String) Name of the user to log in, as registered in Content Server.

authpassword(required)
(String) Password for the associated user name.

TYPE (required)
(String) The asset type of the asset that you want to retrieve from the database. For your web service, the value must be page.

Typically, you provide TYPE and OBJECTID. When you know that a specific field/value pair can uniquely identify the asset, however, you can provide TYPE and the field/value pair instead. Either the OBJECTID or the FIELD and VALUE combination, but not both, are required to load an asset.

OBJECTID (required)
(String) The unique identifying number that references the Asset object. Not required if you use TYPE with the FIELD and VALUE paired parameters.

FIELD (optional)
(String) A field is any one of the column names for the asset. For example, standard fields for CS-Direct assets include name, template, status, description, subtype, category, modified, headline, byline, and body. Use the field name in conjunction with the VALUE parameter as the name portion of a name/value pair. The field name and its corresponding value uniquely identifies the asset to be loaded. Note that if the field/value pair that you supply identifies more than one asset, the AssetLoad operation uses the first one that it finds.

Not required if you use TYPE with the OBJECTID parameter.

VALUE (optional)
(String) Value that corresponds to the field specified by the FIELD parameter. Paired with the field name, this parameter uniquely identifies an asset by supplying the associated value.

Not required if you use TYPE with the OBJECTID parameter.

Description

The relationships set up between page assets on the site tree in the CS-Direct main window are stored in the SitePlanTree table. The AssetGetSiteNode operation uses the object ID of a page asset to retrieve its node ID from that table.

With the node ID, you can acquire information about the site's hierarchy to use for display. For example, you can create a navigation bar with links to section pages or a link back to the parent page.

Returns

String containing the site node ID.

errno

The possible values of errno include:

Value Description
-10001 The implementing class is invalid.
-10002 There is a missing method for the implementing class.
-10003 The method could not be invoked successfully.
-10004 A required parameter is missing.
-10005 The requested object is not in the object pool (is not loaded into memory).
-10006 The object ID is not valid.
-10007 The version of the object is not valid.
-10009 More than one object met the specified criteria.

 

Example

This code loads a page asset and then determines the site node of that page:
