Getting strongly typed content from IPublishedcontent
I am trying to create a xml site map.
And i was wondering, is there a better way or more "correct" way of getting the "HideFromSitemap" property on each page ?
The hidefromsitemap is from a composition that is present on all pages.
It just seems wrong that i first have to check for it, and then cast it to IConfiguration.
Is there a better and or smarter way of doing this ?
My Code:
var home = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf<Home>(); // find the home node.
var children = home.Descendants(); // get needed content from each page.
var sitemapList = new List<SitemapModel>(); //initiate new list.
foreach (var item in children)
{
if (item is IConfiguration)
{
var config = (IConfiguration)item;
if (config.HideFromSitemap)
{
var sitemapItem = new SitemapModel()
{
Loc = item.UrlAbsolute(),
LastUpdated = item.UpdateDate,
Priority = "0.5",
ChangeFreq = "weekly"
};
sitemapList.Add(sitemapItem);
}
}
}
var children = home.Descendants<IConfiguration>(x => x.HideFromSitemap); // get needed content from each page, cast them to IConfiguration and filter on HideFromSitemap.
var sitemapList = children.Select(x => new SitemapModel(){
Loc = x.UrlAbsolute(),
LastUpdated = x.UpdateDate,
Priority = "0.5",
ChangeFreq = "weekly"
});
If you have any nodes not implementing the Configuration composition, they will simply not show up in your children list
I was able to do it like this, based on your response :
var home = this.nodeHelper.GetFrontpage(); // find the home node.
var children = home.Descendants<IConfiguration>().Where(x => x.HideFromSitemap == false); // get needed content from each page.
var sitemapList = new List<SitemapModel>(); //initiate new list.
foreach (var item in children)
{
var sitemapItem = new SitemapModel()
{
Loc = item.UrlAbsolute(),
LastUpdated = item.UpdateDate,
Priority = "0.5",
ChangeFreq = "weekly"
};
sitemapList.Add(sitemapItem);
}
But for some reason it would not let me do as you did directly.
