UsingItemsFilter not filtering result for publication context

Question

In my c# tbb, I am trying to fetch all the components using the particular keyword in a publication context. The code which I am using is:

UsingItemsFilter filter = new UsingItemsFilter(pub.Session)
{
   ItemTypes = new[] { ItemType.Component },
   IncludedVersions = VersionCondition.OnlyLatestVersions
};
var classifiedComponents = keyword.GetListUsingItems(filter);

It's filtering all the components which is associated with the particular keyword (suppose i am picking any keyword from the lowest child publication). I assumed, it should be filtered only those components which are in publication hierarchy.

But not, its fetching all components which are also not in publication hierarchy.

Can anyone please suggest, how can i get only those components which are only associated from the publication hierarchy.

Answer 1

Since you seem to be interested in classified Components: did you consider using Keyword.GetClassifiedItems ?

Answer 2

Did you try InRepository.

UsingItemsFilter = new UsingItemsFilter(pub.Session)
{
   ItemTypes = new[] { ItemType.Component },
   IncludedVersions = VersionCondition.OnlyLatestVersions,
   InRepository = new LinkToRepositoryData(){IdRef="tcm:0-{PUB-ID}-0"}
};
var classifiedComponents = keyword.GetListUsingItems(filter);

I don't have the documentation available but I'm sure I recall that there could be some challenge with localised or shared content so I'd certainly test for local, shared and localised Components (in which case - maybe IncludeLocalCopies = true can be used?).

UPDATE

Actually I just checked something and recalled a similar question when I had problems. There's a full explanation here from Bart.

but essentially you have

• Drop the InRepository
• Filter out duplicate item IDs
• Filter out items from the child Publications
• Replace the Publication IDs of parent Publications in your context Publication

Or, as you'll see in the post noted above, you could use SearchQueryData but you're relying on the setup of search etc.
