How to query Content Property in Technical Documentation

Hi Team,

Could you please explain how we can query 'Content' property in tp_Block itemtype. 

As per my knowledge, all root and node elements along with id's will be wrapped up inside Content property/column in tp_Block table. If I have to find/fetch any id of certain elements like Title/Subtitle/Graphic, is there any way to achieve through Custom code? or should we have to write any SQL query in custom method.

Kindly help.

Thanks,

Sowmya

    Hi Sowmya,

    it should be possible, but I haven´t seen a sample for this one yet. You can use a Method with an AML "get" query to get the "content" property of your tp_block item. With xpath you can then look for specific elements inside content. 

    I made some tests for this one in the past to get content of text elements for translating the content into another language. I don´t have a ready to use sample, cause I mainly played around with an xpath tester.

    One thing that I remember: Sometimes the content property does not contain the content in a valid xml format. When your tp_block element for example just contains sections, there will no be any root element. So instead of making an xpath query on the content itself, better use the full tp_block item.

    Hi Angela,

    It would be great if you can share piece of code using XPath and querying Content elements. Sample piece of code.

    So that I also can try from my end and explore more on that.

    Thanks for your response.

    Thanks,

    Sowmya
