I recently spent a lot of time in the categories, so I think I can
help. All my stuff is tied to webservices/flex, but I also had it
working tied in to the customadmin. So I would have no worries about it
running from a dmInclude.
This will get you all the descendants of a given node. I added a helper
fn so that I can simply alias the category where I want to start.
qDescendants=request.factory.oTree.getDescendants(
dsn = application.dsn
,objectid = extractCategoryIdFromAlias(
"yourStartCategoryHere" )
,bIncludeSelf = false
);
<cffunction name="extractCategoryIdFromAlias" returntype="uuid"
access="public">
<cfargument name="rootAlias" type="string" required="false"
default="objectives" />
<!--- get a list of all categories w/aliases --->
<!--- this will return a structure indexed by alias --->
<cfset var stAliasCats = instance.oCat.getCatAliases() />
<cfif not structKeyExists(stAliasCats, rootAlias) >
<cfthrow message="No category w/the name
#arguments.rootAlias# exists. This is probably a misconfiguration." />
</cfif>
<cfreturn stAliasCats[rootAlias] />
</cffunction>
