KM API to get userhome links to favorites

[Former Member]

Hi

I am trying to get the list of portal favorites the user has checked for himself by using

KM API. What code should I use in order to get this list of favorites?

Thank you

Hi,

portal favorites are links saved in USERHOME repository of the current user. So you should use standard KM API to get list of links in this RID:

/~alias~/userhome/<user.id>/favorites/

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your reply.

It helped but right now I get the list of links in my favorite folder, but I am unalbe to open

the link if I press it.

How do I make the linkToUrl open the iview this link points to ???

Hi,

never tried, but it seems, that the KM property of the resource:

http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm/rendering::contentlink

should be the right way.

I have found this code in FavoriteRetriever.java

private IMenuItemTemplate parseFavorite(IResource resource, boolean linked)
                throws ODIException
            {
/* 214*/        if(resource == null)
                {
/* 215*/            BaseLogManager.warn(com.sap.caf.eu.odi.mnuacc.util.impl.FavoriteRetriever.class, LoggingCategories.SERVER, "null passed as resource. Probably invalid structure of favorites.");
/* 216*/            return new MenuItemTemplate();
                }
                String name;
                String url;
/* 221*/        if(!LinkType.EXTERNAL.equals(resource.getLinkType()))
/* 225*/            break MISSING_BLOCK_LABEL_85;
/* 225*/        name = resource.getName();
/* 226*/        url = resource.getTargetURL().toString();
/* 228*/        return new MenuItemTemplate(name, url);
/* 230*/        if(LinkType.INTERNAL.equals(resource.getLinkType()))
/* 233*/            return parseFavorite(resource.getTargetResource(), true);
                String url;
/* 235*/        if(!resource.isCollection())
/* 240*/            break MISSING_BLOCK_LABEL_247;
/* 240*/        name = resource.getName();
/* 242*/        if(!linked)
/* 245*/            break MISSING_BLOCK_LABEL_184;
/* 245*/        IUriReference uri = m_urlGen.getRelativeUri(PathKey.NAVIGATION_PAGE);
/* 246*/        uri = uri.appendPath(resource.getRID().getPath());
/* 247*/        url = uri.toExternalForm();
/* 249*/        return new MenuItemTemplate(name, url);
                MenuItemTemplate item;
/* 253*/        item = new MenuItemTemplate(name);
/* 255*/        IResourceList list = ((ICollection)resource).getChildren();
/* 256*/        for(IResourceListIterator children = list.listIterator(); children.hasNext(); item.addChild(parseFavorite(children.next(), false)));
/* 261*/        return item;
/* 267*/        name = resource.getName();
/* 269*/        item = null;
/* 272*/        com.sapportals.wcm.repository.IPropertyName propName = new PropertyName("http://sapportals.com/xmlns/cm/rendering", "contentlink");
/* 273*/        IProperty property = resource.getProperty(propName);
/* 274*/        if(property != null)
                {
/* 275*/            String portalNavUrl = property.getStringValue();
/* 277*/            if(portalNavUrl.startsWith("<PORTAL_NAVIGATION>"))
/* 278*/                portalNavUrl = portalNavUrl.substring(19);
/* 281*/            item = "/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=" + portalNavUrl;
                }
/* 285*/        if(item == null)
                {
/* 286*/            IUriReference uri = m_urlGen.getRelativeUri(PathKey.VIEWER_PATH);
/* 287*/            uri = uri.appendPath(resource.getRID().getPath());
/* 288*/            item = uri.toExternalForm();
                }
/* 291*/        return new MenuItemTemplate(name, item);
                Exception e;
/* 294*/        e;
/* 295*/        if(e instanceof ODIException)
                {
/* 296*/            throw (ODIException)e;
                } else
                {
/* 298*/            BaseLogManager.error(com.sap.caf.eu.odi.mnuacc.util.impl.FavoriteRetriever.class, LoggingCategories.SERVER, "Unable to parse Favorites.", e);
/* 299*/            throw new ODIException(LOCATION, ODIResourceAccessor.getInstance(), "PORTAL_ACCESS_FAILED", e);
                }
            }
