Introduction

This document shows how to implement a way to pick up all the elements from a folder, extract this information in XML format, sort all the elements choosing the criteria and display this information.

Prerequisites

This code was developed to solve the following problem:   

    * The customer organizes part of their website in sections 
    * Each section is created with a folder which contains components based on the same schema (for this case news). 
    * The customer wants to show each section in a different page. 
    * They don't want to add each component that they create in the page which displays this information, so just create the component in this folder and that's it.   
    * Finally, they wanted to sort this information using different criteria and also create pagination, so the result is presented as interactive content to the user, who can sort by different criteria.       
    * The presentation server code is C#.  

1. To implement this solution the following actions must be done

    * Create a schema to create the component for configuration. In this case will be composed by:
    *
          o FolderURI         (Text)
          o ItemsPerPage   (Text)
          o moreitems_lb   (Text)
          o readmore_lb     (Text)  

    * Create the component for configuration 
    * Create the schema for create the elements that will be displayed. In this case will be composed by:
    *
          o Title                       (Text)
          o Introduction           (Text) 
          o DateOfPublication   (Date)  
    * Create the folder where this components will be stored 
    * Create the components 
    * Create the TBB with the functions for process the information
    * Create the CT based on the schema configuration using the functions explained
    * Create the page and just add the Component for configuration + the component Template
