API call to retrieve values from Content Relator CCE or Content Select CCE widgets

Hi,We have content items that are linked to other content items via ContentRelator CCE and Content Select CCE widgets.  Using a JSP override, I wish tolook to a particular content item and retrieve all content items it is linkedto.Does anyone know of any way of doing this?I have tried using ci.getAttributeValue("[Content_Select_CCE_NAME]") andci.getAttributeValue("[Content_Relator_CCE_NAME]") but these return null values.Thanks in advance,Eoin.

Hi Eoin,

We are using a Content Multiselect CCE widget. It's not exaclty what you are using but it may be close enough to help you figure things out.

Use this to print out the keys for the relations to this ContentInstance.Hashtable relatorTables = ci.getAllRelations();Enumeration e = relatorTables.keys();Once you know which key you need use it to get the related values (guids) so you can look up the related content.AttributedObject[] values = ci.getRelations(key-from relartorTables);if (values.length >0){    for (int i = 0; i < values.length; i++) {        String linkedID = (String) values[i].getAttributeValue(column-in-join-tale-with-guid);        ManagedObject ro = ManagedObject.findByContentManagementId(new ManagedObjectVCMRef(linkedID));.............

I hope this helps,

Millisa

Hi Millisa,

Your suggestion worked perfectly for me. In my case I didn't even need to retrieve the relator key via an API call, as the key name was visible on the CTD in VCM. I simply hardcoded it.

Thanks very much for your help with this.

Cheers,

Eoin.
