API - Is there a way to retrieve the data of a social component in a structured way?

Hi,

I have not found how to do what I want in the AEM documentation or in a tutorial...

Is there a way to retrieve the data of a social component in a structured way? I know that I can retrieve specific nodes in the repository, but I need to figure out how the social component is implemented in the repository (nodes structure).

Is it possible to get the forum and its posts for example. What would be the best method to do this (JCR API, Sling, AEM API)?

Thanks,

Matthieu

    Hi Matthieu,

    You can use Query Builder to retrieve all forums.(http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/search/querybuilder-api.html)

    type=cq:PageContent
    property=cq:template
    property.value=/apps/aaa/greater/templates/new-community

    Would return you paths to the forums within the website.

    To find out every component under certain path, again you can use query builder to select certain resources under known path.

    e.g. 

    type=cq:PageContent
    property=cq:template
    property.value=/apps/aaa/greater/templates/my-topic
    path=/path/to/my-forum

    Once you retrieve paths to your individual items(forums, posts or topics) you can call adaptTo method to adapt resource from path to your desired component. You already have adapters for forums and posts provided with out of the box AEM 6. (http://localhost:4502/system/console/status-adapters).

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Hi Kalyanar,

    I have tried and modified your sample for my needs. It works! Thanks for your help.

    If  I traverse all nodes in the path "mywebsite/content", is it possible to determine if a page or a page content uses a social component?

    Thanks,

    Matthieu
