Filtering by multiple tags
I created a custom module with an MVC widget that I'm trying to filter the content by tags. How do I filter by multiple tags?
This works for a single tag:
var myCollection = dmm.GetDataItems(iconType).Where(p => (p.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live && p.Visible == true)).Where("Tags.Contains((" + SelectedTags[0] + "))")
I tried a comma delimited string of SelectedTags but that did not work.
Thanks
Hi Tom, based on this documentation http://docs.sitefinity.com/filter-expressions-for-content-items
You should use something like that:
((Category.Contains("Taxonomy ID") OR Category.Contains("Taxonomy ID"))
Thanks Victor, that isn't the exact syntax, but after much trial and error, I did find a magic combination using dynamic linq.
var Tags = "Visible = true AND Status = Live AND (";
foreach (Guid Tag in selectedTags)
Tags += "Tags.Contains((" + Tag + ")) OR ";
var myCollection = dmm.GetDataItems(iconType).Where(Tags.Substring(0, Tags.Length-4) + ")")
Couple notes...2 sets of parentheses are required for each Tags.Contains. Tags cannot be a string value, it must be a var with guid value appended to it.
