JCR Query to return a List of Assembly Items

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

So, I’d like to be able to Use a JCR query to get a list of assembly items without using an AutoSlot. Reason being that when I use an Auto Slot, the content re-publishes every time I run an incremental edition.

I figure that I have 2 options:

  1. Try to use an auto-slot without adding it to the template’s list of slots.
  2. Build an extension to run the query.

I have tried to use $user.psoQueryTools but the results I got back were unfiltered with regard to item state. This isn’t going to fly in a production scenario.

Has anyone out there settled on a viable solution?

We’ve used method 1 with great success. We have also implemented method 2 (in a separate case) when we realized that we needed a faster way to get the items than what RX was providing (using a direct query to the database…this was for reverse slot lookups).

Could you post an example of your Velocity code on how to use this method

$user.psoQueryTools.executeQuery(query,maxRows,params,locale)

Thanks

We don’t use that function… but perhaps this was meant for Rushing?
