Get files from a set

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hi, I want to write some functionality to get a list of images from a set, output them into a div and then write my own javascript slideshow.

Can somebody please help me with the code to iterate through each image in a particular set? I intend to just code this in my theme php page rather than using a block. Is that workable?

Thanks

Hi, yesterday maybe I found a way to the solution:
I simply looked in the controller.php of the concrete's slideshow block; take a look at the loadFileSet() function.

hi, would you have a code sample of how you did this? i had no joy when trying to do this.

I simply want to return img tags with all of the images in a given set.

Thanks

try something like this:

Loader::model("file_set");
Loader::model('file_list');
$fs = FileSet::getByName('Your File Set');
$fl = new FileList();
$fl->filterBySet($fs);
$files = $fl->get();
foreach($files as $f) {
    print $f->getFileName();
    print $f->getTitle(); 
    print $f->getAttribute("width");
    print $f->getDownloadURL();
    print $f->getRelativePath();
}

etc....

That's awesome.

Where would I get a list of getAttribute attributes?

Is there a list of what other attributes about the files that I can get? ie. is there a getThumbnail for example.

Anything found in Dashboard > Files > Attributes. We typically install width and height by default but you can add any kind of attribute there. Just use the "handle" of the attribute in the $file->getAttribute($handle) method and you should be able to retrieve it.

You can also setup files to automatically save certain attributes upon upload/rescan with some information found here:

aah... makes sense.

Thanks for the help Andrew - really helped a lot. It's pointed me in the right direction for finding more attributes from \concrete\models\file_version.php

I thought I might post the list that I found in there that relates to displaying a list of files:

getFileID()
getFileVersionID()
getPrefix()
getFileName()
getTitle()
getTags()
getDescription()
isApproved()
getAttribute()
getAttributeList()
getGenericTypeText()
getSize()
getFullSize()
getAuthorName()
getAuthorUserID()
getFile()
getTagsList()
getMimeType()
getDateAdded()
getType()
getTypeObject()
getVersionLogComments()
getExtension()
getPath()
getURL()
getDownloadURL()
getRelativePath()
getThumbnailPath()
getThumbnailSRC()
hasThumbnail()
getThumbnail()
getAttributeValueObject()

Hi every one

Is it possible in any way to retrieve the FileSetName and have this printed or echoed out along with, for instance getPath?
