ImageQuery - Filtering Images by Tag whilst ordering by Visits.

Vote:

Hi all,

Im am trying to bring back an ImageCollection which is filtered by one or more Tag and ordered by the number of Visits. Currently I am attempting to use the Query system to do this. However, there does not seem to be a VisitableItemCriterion to sort the items by.

Can anyone offer some advice for the best approach to achieve this?

Many Thanks,

Martin.

Hi,

Here is an example about get most viewed image, not by using Query, but it seems to be a good idea.

/// Gets the most viewed images and binds them to the listing control

/// </summary>

/// <param name="page">Which page to show</param>

private void BindMostViewedImageGalleries(int page)

{

int totalItems;

// Get the most viewed images

EntityCollection visitedItems = VisitHandler.Instance.GetVisitedItems(typeof(ImageGallery), EntityStatus.Approved,

page, ucImageGalleries.PageSize, Utils.CacheTimeOut.MostViewed, out totalItems,

new VisitableEntitySortOrder(VisitableEntitySortField.NumVisits, SortingDirection.Descending));

ImageGalleryCollection imageGalleries = new ImageGalleryCollection();

// Transform into an image gallery collection

foreach (ImageGallery ig in visitedItems)

{

imageGalleries.Add(ig);

}

// Bind the image galleries

ucImageGalleries.PageNumber = page;

BindImageGalleries(imageGalleries, totalItems, ListingType.MostViewed);

}

 // Get the most viewed images
            EntityCollection visitedItems = VisitHandler.Instance.GetVisitedItems(typeof(ImageGallery), EntityStatus.Approved, 
                page, ucImageGalleries.PageSize, Utils.CacheTimeOut.MostViewed, out totalItems, 
                new VisitableEntitySortOrder(VisitableEntitySortField.NumVisits, SortingDirection.Descending));

            ImageGalleryCollection imageGalleries = new ImageGalleryCollection();

            // Transform into an image gallery collection
            foreach (ImageGallery ig in visitedItems)
            {
                imageGalleries.Add(ig);
            }

Hope this could help!

Regards, Hai
