Any way of finding the childName of a folder?

Hi there,
I have a folder in my Company Home directory and I want to know it's childName. I have the folder's 'real name' but need it's childName so I can construct a path string to use in other methods. Anyone know how I do this? I've read that it is impossible to get the path of a Node if you only have its uuid - will I encounter a similar problem when trying to get the childName from the Node?

Thanks,
Martin BG

Hi

If you have the node uuid and you know the store you can build the node ref and get the path to the node via the node service. Files and Folders keep the childName and the name in sync. From the node you can get the relationship to the parent in the node service which will give you allk the information about the relationship - not just the child name 🙂

Regards

Andy
