    Get latest media items from entire media tree

    Hi,

    I need to get a list of the latest 10 items added to the entire media tree, not from a specific folder.

    I want to do this in a partial view macro using razor.

    Is there a quick way to do this?

    thanks,

    nick

    You can do it with Examine

    @{
    var searcher = ExamineManager.Instance.SearchProviderCollection["InternalSearcher"];
    var searchCriteria = searcher.CreateSearchCriteria();
    var results = searcher.Search(searchCriteria.RawQuery("nodeTypeAlias:Image"));
    if (results != null && results.Any())
    {
        var resultsOrdered = results.OrderByDescending(x => DateTime.ParseExact(x.Fields["createDate"], "yyyyMMddHHmmssfff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));
        var resultsTop10 = resultsOrdered.Take(10);

        foreach (var result in resultsTop10)
        {
            @result.Fields["nodeName"]
        }
    }
}

    Hi Soren,

    That's great. Solution is working nicely. Thanks for your help.

    I amended slightly to get the URL of the File items:

    var results = searcher.Search(searchCriteria.RawQuery("nodeTypeAlias:File"));
                    if (results != null && results.Any())
                    {
                        var resultsOrdered = results.OrderByDescending(x => DateTime.ParseExact(x.Fields["updateDate"], "yyyyMMddHHmmssfff", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture));
                        var resultsTop5 = resultsOrdered.Take(5);
                        foreach (var result in resultsTop5)
                        {
                            var med = Umbraco.Media(result.Fields["id"].ToString());
                            string url = @med.umbracoFile;
                            //var url = result.Fields["urlName"].ToString();
                            <li><a href="@url">@result.Fields["nodeName"]</a></li>
                        }
                    }

    cheers,

    Nick
