Nodes in binders

A question from one of my developers:

I am using DocumentManagementClient module to get nodes. Function that I am using is called “GetNodeByPath”. This function takes rootID (2000 in our case) , Path as string and returns the corresponding node. I am unable to get a folder node when it’s within a Binder. Consider these two examples:

Following Code works and I get Node “000245” (which is a binder). Function is able to find the node “000245”.

var masterNodepathElements= new string[] { "Central Compliance", "Employees" , "000245" };

var BinderNode = docManClient.GetNodeByPath(ref otAuth, 2000, masterNodepathElements);

From C# debug window:

However when I try to go one level down inside the Binder to get a Folder, I get null.

var masterNodepathElements= new string[] { "Central Compliance", "Employees", "000245","Compliance Forms" };

var BinderNode = docManClient.GetNodeByPath(ref otAuth, 2000, masterNodepathElements);

Note that ‘Compliance Forms’ is a Folder within Binder ‘000245’.

From C# debug window:

Does GetNodeByPath not support a Folder within A Binder? If not, is there any other method I can use?

Hi Tim,

Binder’s, similar to several other containers in Content Server, are implemented as a volume.GetNodeByPath doesn’t recognize volumes so in your code you’ll need to account for them. A volume is essentially a new root, having a ID that’s the negative of the container’s ID.

For your example, something like this should work:

var masterNodepathElements= new string[] { "Central Compliance", "Employees" , "000245" };

var BinderNode = docManClient.GetNodeByPath(ref otAuth, 2000, masterNodepathElements);

// now treatBinderNode as a root

var ComplianceFormsNode = docManClient.GetNodeByPath(ref otAuth, - BinderNode.ID, new string[] { "Compliance Forms"});

One special case are projects, in case you are interested.

The sub-projects are under the project item, the other item sin the project are under the volume.
