OK...I see the problems
First, you cannot use getDescendants() in this case as it's only going
to return dmNavigation objects below the objectid given as an
argument.
Second, "filename" is not a valid column for this method as
getDescendants queries against "nested_tree_objects" in the Db and
that table doesn't have a filename column.
So as I said before, you're existing code is most definately throwing
an exception and your just not seeing it in the output. If I was you
I'd develop this feature outside of the _primaryNav template to make
debugging easier. Once it's working you can drop it in place.
Ok so back to the problem. Here's what you need to do:
<cfscript>
//get the properties of application.navid.guides
oNav = createObject("component", application.types.dmNavigation.typePath);
stObj = oNav.getData(application.navid.guides);
</cfscript>
<!---
Check the array length of stObj.aObjectids and loop over it if it's not empty
aObjectids contains your PDF files that are under Guides
--->
<cfif arrayLen(stObj.aObjectids)>
<cfoutput>
<form action="../">
<b>An Agents Guides To...</b><br>
<select onchange="parseNavigation(this)">
<option>Choose a guide</option>
</cfoutput>
<!--- Loop over stObj.aObjectids --->
<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(stObj.aOjectids)#"
index="i">
<!--- Get the properties of the file --->
<cfset oFile = createObject("component",
application.types.dmFile.typePath)>
<cfset stFileProps =
oFile.getData(stObj.aObjectids[i])>
<cfoutput><option
value="files/#stFileProps.filename#">#stFileProps.title#</option></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>
</select>
</form>
</cfoutput>
</cfif>
I didn't test this but it should work. Let me know how this works for you.
