API to get both Taxonomy Item Quicklink AND DisplayOrder
Try TaxonomyManager
var TaxonomyCRUD = new TaxonomyManager();
var list = TaxonomyCRUD.GetTree(
TaxonomyId, // root node id
2, // depth
true, // include child items
null, // paginginfo
EkEnumeration.TaxonomyType.Content, // node type
EkEnumeration.TaxonomyItemsSortOrder.taxonomy_item_display_order // display order - don't ask why :)
);

Hello. I am attempting to build a menu using the Ektron taxonomy API and I have been unsuccessful in finding an efficient way of pulling back the Taxonomy Items assigned to a specific category that includes both the correct sort order (as set by the content editor) AND the QuickLink. Is this possible using one method?
When I use TaxonomyItemManager using code similar to below, I can pull back the correct sort order but several of the fields come back unpopulated, including QuickLink. Why is Quicklink not included? I'm assuming this is a bug?
TaxonomyItemCriteria criteria = new TaxonomyItemCriteria(TaxonomyItemProperty.DateCreated, EkEnumeration.OrderByDirection.Descending);
criteria.AddFilter(TaxonomyItemProperty.TaxonomyId, CriteriaFilterOperator.EqualTo, tData.Id);
criteria.OrderByField = TaxonomyItemProperty.TaxonomyItemDisplayOrder;
TaxonomyItemManager taxonomyItemManager = new TaxonomyItemManager();
var taxonomyItemList = taxonomyItemManager.GetList(criteria);
When I use ContentManager and ContentTaxonomyCriteria like this:
ContentManager contentManager = new Ektron.Cms.Framework.Content.ContentManager();
ContentTaxonomyCriteria taxCriteria = new ContentTaxonomyCriteria();
taxCriteria.AddFilter(tData.Id, false);
taxCriteria.ReturnMetadata = false;
var content = contentManager.GetList(taxCriteria);
It gives me the Quicklink field I need, but I can't get the taxonomy item sort order. Is there a way to get both without having to get a list of TaxonomyItems and then using ContentManager to look up the Quicklink? Please help! Thanks
