Summary

Fetches a node (identified by either an ID number or a path).

Usage

fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( [ 'node_id',   node_id,  ]
                                [ 'node_path', node_path ] ) )

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Required
node_id	integer	The ID number of the node that should be fetched.	No.
node_path	string	The path of the node that should be fetched.	No.

Returns

An ezcontentobjecttreenode object of FALSE.

Description

This function fetches a single node and returns it as a ezcontentobjecttreenode. The target node must be specified using either the "node_id" or the "node_path" parameter. If no node can be found, or if an error occurs, the function will return FALSE.

Examples

Example 1

{def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_id', 96 ) )}
{$my_node.name|wash}

Fetches node number 96 and outputs the name of the object that is encapsulated by that node.

Example 2

{def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_path', 'news/article_test' ) )}
{$my_node.name|wash}

Fetches the node by the specified path and outputs the name of the object that is encapsulated by that node.

Example 3

{def $my_node=fetch( 'content', 'node', hash( 'node_path', 'news/article_test' ) )}
Views: {$my_node.view_count}

Fetches the node by the specified path and outputs the number of times this node has been viewed. (The "updateviewcount.php" cronjob must be run periodically.)

fetching the right language

Xavier Gouley (Smile) · 06/07/2006 09:49 am

Hi,
Default language code is english ;
My language code is "fre-FR" (only for my siteaccess front-office) ;
I'm in the pagelayout.tpl, for the french siteaccess ;
I fetches the current node (instead of $node that is not defined in the pagelayout) to $currentNode ;
Now, if I write : $currentNode.object|attribute, I retrieves the fre-FR version,
BUT if I write $currentNode.object.data_map|attribute, I retrieves the english version...
Finally, I can't have the french version of an attribute !
Is it a bug (ez 3.8) ?
