    How to use "filter" argument in ContentService.GetPagedChildren?be

    Hi,

    I would like to know how to use the "filter" argument in 

    Services.ContentService.GetPagedDescendants(id, pageNumber, pageSize, out totalChildren, orderBy, orderDirection, filter);

    because from what i do understand is that I can use it to filter the descendants on properties, is this correct?

    And if so, can anybody explain on how to use it?

    Tnx in advance!

    Hi Garret,

    Did you find a solution for this? I also want to filter on the ContentService!

    Kind regards, Rik

    Hi,

    Due to vitually no real documentation and (afaik) no examples, here's what I've worked out after about 4 hours of internet digging and trial and error:

    long n = 3;
var descendents = ApplicationContext.Current.Services.ContentService.GetPagedDescendants(node.Id, 1, 3, out n, "UpdateDate", Umbraco.Core.Persistence.DatabaseModelDefinitions.Direction.Descending, "FILTER HERE");

    The above is a conversion from a view I had with the following:

    foreach (var child in region.Descendants("location").Where("Visible && popularDestination").OrderBy("UpdateDate desc").Take(3))

    With no filter it returns three items, but I really would like to select only nodes of type 'location', but cannot work out the filter parameter.

    If someone from UmbracoHQ (or otherwise) could shed some light or provide a few examples here that would be great.

    Thanks all.

    Hi community,

    I'd really appreciate some help on this. Still stuck on the filter parameter of GetPagedDescendants().

    Is this a filter as used in a typical Where(x == something) statement?

    I'm purely guessing now but not getting anywhere.

    Many thanks
